    Description

    As a Sr. Technical Program Manager for Amazon Customer Service (CS) Social, you"ll orchestrate the programs that make social customer service possible at scale across billions of customer touchpoints.

    You"ll own the execution of complex, cross-functional initiatives spanning social platform integrations, vendor partnerships, and the technical infrastructure that connects our internal capabilities into a unified customer service experience. This isn"t just program coordination - it"s strategic ownership of the programs that define how Amazon"s social CS evolves.

    Working at the intersection of product vision and engineering delivery, you"ll drive end-to-end execution of critical technical programs, own relationships with external partners and manage commercial agreements and technical SLAs. You"ll navigate ambiguity across engineering, legal, security, and finance to find a path forward in the most difficult situations - and translate product and engineering dependencies into sequenced, de-risked delivery plans that keep multi-team programs moving. Your work will directly enable Amazon to meet customers where they are, on the platforms they use every day.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own end-to-end program execution for complex, cross-functional technical initiatives spanning multiple engineering teams, external platform partners, and internal Amazon organizations - driving alignment, clearing blockers, and accelerating delivery at every stage
    • Manage the full lifecycle of Amazon"s social media platform partnerships, including technical integrations, SLA management, vendor escalations, and commercial agreements with partners
    • Translate ambiguous product and engineering dependencies into sequenced, de-risked program plans with clear milestones, owners, and contingencies - ensuring the right technical solutions are delivered on time and to the right quality bar
    • Lead cross-functional collaboration across engineering, product, legal, security, finance, and operations teams, building consensus and driving decisions in high-ambiguity situations where the path forward is not yet defined
    • Establish program health mechanisms and metrics that provide real-time visibility into technical program status, dependency risks, and partner commitments, using data to drive escalation and course correction decisions

    A day in the life

    Your morning starts with program health checks - tracking dependencies, partner commitments, and what"s at risk before it becomes a blocker. By mid-morning you"re in technical architecture discussions with engineering leads, surfacing hidden risks and ensuring today"s decisions don"t create problems six months out. Afternoons bring vendor negotiations, stakeholder narratives, and cross-functional working sessions to unblock stalled dependencies. Your customers are the engineers who need unblocked programs, the PMs who need their roadmaps sequenced, and ultimately the millions of Amazon customers whose social CS experience depends on the infrastructure you"re keeping on track.

    CS-Social is Amazon"s global team dedicated to delivering exceptional customer service across all social media apps.

    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.
