Description

Are you ready to take on the most complex technical initiatives? As a Sr. Technical Program Manager, you'll be the maestro behind the scenes, turning ambitious visions into reality through strategic planning, flawless execution, and exceptional leadership.

Technical Program Managers (TPMs) at Amazon are responsible for the planning, execution, and successful delivery of technical programs. At Level 6 (TPM III), you will be expected to manage technical initiatives, potentially spanning across multiple teams or organizations, in support of larger business objectives.

What Makes This Role Extraordinary
This isn't just any program management role. At Amazon, TPMs are the driving force behind our most innovative and impactful technical initiatives. You will:

Create Visible Impact: Lead programs that directly affect millions of potential employees and current employees, recruiters and managers.
Work with Brilliant Minds: Collaborate with world-class engineers, scientists, and business leaders
Shape the Future: Drive initiatives that define how Amazon will operate for years to come


Key job responsibilities
What You'll Do
Lead End-to-End Program Planning: Partner with cross-functional teams to create comprehensive roadmaps and execution plans for complex technical initiatives
Drive Technical Innovation: Translate business requirements into technical solutions, working closely with engineering teams to ensure successful implementation
Manage Risk Proactively: Identify potential roadblocks before they become issues and develop mitigation strategies that keep programs on track
Champion Communication: Create compelling status reports that tell the story of your projects and ensure stakeholders are informed and aligned
Build Consensus Across Teams: When different views emerge on how to proceed, you'll find the best path forward and influence others to follow

A day in the life
Start your morning by reviewing the status of a critical program that will improve the quality of hires for Amazon and its subsidiaries. You notice a potential risk and immediately spring into action:

You bring together engineering leads from three different teams to brainstorm solutions
You facilitate a decision-making meeting where trade-offs between speed, cost, and quality are evaluated
You collaborate with UX designers to ensure the customer experience remains exceptional
You update senior leadership on the program status, highlighting the risk and your mitigation plan
You celebrate with your team as a major milestone is achieved ahead of schedule
No two days are the same, but every day brings meaningful challenges and the satisfaction of driving tangible results.
