    Key job responsibilities

    As Sr Program Manager for the Marketing, Planning, Supply Chain, Data & Annotation team (MPSD&A), reporting to the organization Director, you drive organization-level program management - bringing the team together to deliver results quickly and efficiently, drive improvement, and ensure the Prime Air program plan is achieved.

    You manage complex initiatives across multiple teams within and beyond your organization at the senior and executive leadership level, delivering critical solutions, significant improvements, and new mechanisms, or deprecating processes no longer needed.

    Accountable for a large program"s overall strategy, you manage all stages from concept to delivery, meeting challenging business goals and driving measurable improvements in customer experience, business or employee efficiency, execution, compliance adherence, financial performance, and other metrics.

    You understand the interdependencies of the problems you solve - aligned workflows, customer requirements, process limitations, legal or compliance requirements, and program support - and influence team priorities and strategy through data-driven contributions, making the case for project priorities, resource allocation (employees, budget, travel), and program adoption to achieve business outcomes, resolve deficiencies, or unblock delivery.

    You communicate effectively, verbally and in writing, up to Directors and VPs - fostering constructive dialogue, harmonizing discordant views, and leading contentious issues to consensus. You partner with customers, stakeholders, and engineering teams.

    You set the example: delivering the right things, defining clear goals, driving crisp decisions on project priority, and proactively surfacing risks with mitigation plans before they become roadblocks. As a simplifier, you add, refine, and remove procedures to boost productivity. You participate in hiring and mentor others to get things done.

    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.
