    Description

    We are seeking a results-oriented Senior Program Manager to lead one of our most critical seller experience initiatives within Selling Partner Trust (SPT). This role sits at the intersection of product, policy, operations, and technology driving a cross-functional program that spans multiple organizations to fundamentally improve how sellers interact with Amazon"s enforcement and remediation systems. You will own the end-to-end program strategy, roadmap, and delivery for a high-visibility initiative that directly impacts millions of selling partners worldwide.

    The ideal candidate is a builder who thrives in ambiguity, can influence without authority across organizational boundaries, and translates complex, cross-functional challenges into clear plans with measurable outcomes. This role offers significant autonomy, exposure to senior leadership, and serves as a launching pad for future senior leadership opportunities.

    Key job responsibilities

    Program Strategy & Cross-Functional Leadership

    • Own the end-to-end program strategy, roadmap, and execution for a flagship seller experience initiative spanning multiple organizations and areas (product, engineering, policy, operations, science)
    • Define program vision, success metrics, and strategic documents (narratives, PR/FAQs) that secure alignment and investment from senior leadership
    • Lead cross-functional working groups, driving alignment across organizations with competing priorities and resolving dependencies and escalations
    • Identify and close gaps across business, operations, product, and technical workstreams to ensure cohesive end-to-end delivery

    Program Delivery & Operational Excellence

    • Drive execution from planning through launch - managing scope, schedule, and risk across multiple parallel workstreams
    • Establish program mechanisms (milestone reviews, escalation paths, launch readiness checks) and define KPIs to measure impact and course-correct in real time

    Stakeholder Management & Executive Communication

    • Serve as the single-threaded leader for the initiative; build trusted relationships with stakeholders from Director through VP/SVP across functional boundaries
    • Author executive-level documents (QBRs, narratives, OP1/OP2 inputs) and own program communications including launch announcements, all-hands updates, and leadership reviews
    • Drive closure on complex, ambiguous topics with competing cross-functional perspectives; ensure clear goal alignment and accountability across all contributing teams

    A day in the life

    You will own the program roadmap, and be the single thread that holds a complex, multi-organization initiative together. When teams are misaligned, you will get them on the same page.

    You will run the mechanisms that keep the program on track : milestone reviews, escalation paths, launch readiness checks and you will have the judgment to know when process helps and when it gets in the way.

    You will thrive in an environment that rewards clarity of thought, bias for action, and the ability to earn trust across organizational boundaries.

    About the team

    Our North Star is to support and protect seller business continuity so sellers can confidently invest in growing with Amazon. Our strategy focuses on three interconnected areas: (1) Governance: ensuring enforcements are accurate, predictable, and only taken when necessary; (2) Seller Experience: providing transparent, actionable information with efficient remediation pathways so sellers can restore operations quickly and independently; and (3) Support: delivering the right help when issues arise in a way that demonstrates Amazon"s commitment to their business. This role is the central driver of the Seller Experience pillar, coordinating tightly with Governance and Support to deliver cohesive improvements for selling partners.

So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
