    Description

    We are seeking a Program Manager III to lead expansion strategy for our Rural Super Rural Plus (RSR+) program within R2L. In this role, you will own strategic expansion planning end-to-end - evaluating and prioritizing opportunities, building the roadmaps that guide the program"s long-term growth, and driving expansion initiatives from intake through execution within a defined program lifecycle. This position requires a self-directed operator who can navigate ambiguity with autonomy, deep dive across a wide range of functional domains, and communicate with impact at every level - up to VP-level leadership.

    Key job responsibilities

    In this role, you will own strategic expansion planning for the RSR+ program, including evaluation, prioritization, and the development and maintenance of expansion roadmaps that guide the program"s long-term growth trajectory. You will run the program"s intake-to-launch lifecycle, moving initiatives from prioritized intake through scoping and tollgate reviews to launch. You will scope and drive expansion initiatives across a range of strategic programs, translating ambiguous opportunities into structured, executable plans.

    Operating with a high degree of autonomy, you will partner with Network Design to validate and align expansion priorities with network capacity and infrastructure realities. You will coordinate across cross-functional stakeholders - spanning design, selection, supply chain, capacity, operations, optimization, and quality - operating within a defined RACI to remove blockers and drive decisions that keep programs moving forward. Through data-driven decision making, you will synthesize complex, multi-source inputs into clear, executive-ready narratives and recommendations - communicating expansion strategy, risks, and program status to VP-level leadership through written and verbal business reviews. You will identify risks and interdependencies early and drive resolution across stakeholder groups.

    A day in the life

    Your day spans capacity feasibility analysis, driving programs through their decision gates, and building OP-level business cases that distill months of network-planning complexity into crisp, decision-ready briefs. Your stakeholders span Network Design, Selection, Supply Chain, and Capacity - and every day is about connecting dots, driving clarity, and moving expansion decisions forward.

    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
