    Description

    Amazon Customer Service is reimagining the associate experience from the ground up. We"re building a future where every associate-from their first day through their entire career-has an experience designed around them as individuals.

    Network Solutions is seeking a Technical Program Manager to lead program execution orchestration for the Associate Journey. You"ll own how we deliver AI-native capabilities-orchestrating execution across engineering, science, product, and operations to deliver at scale. You"ll manage complex, multi-team delivery across the full associate lifecycle-from pre-hire through onboarding, training, scheduling, and career progression.

    This is a ground-up build applying new approaches to longstanding challenges at Amazon"s scale. You"ll work in a high-ambiguity environment where you"ll define execution paths without established playbooks. Success requires driving technical architecture decisions that impact delivery timelines, managing complex dependency chains, and ensuring what we build can be operationalized at scale.

    You"ll drive program execution across multiple capability areas, influence senior leadership on delivery approach and resource needs, and build program mechanisms that define how we ship associate experience capabilities for years to come.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own end-to-end program execution for Associate Journey capabilities spanning pre-hire through tenured associate experiences
    • Orchestrate how and when we deliver-coordinating parallel execution tracks across Engineering, Applied Science, Data Engineering, Product, Operations, and UX
    • Drive technical architecture decisions that impact delivery timelines, operational scalability, and system integration
    • Manage dependency chains across teams, organizations, and systems-identifying blockers early and unblocking teams to maintain momentum
    • Build program mechanisms including delivery milestones, risk registers, and status reporting that provide leadership visibility into execution health
    • Partner with Service Delivery Operations teams to validate implementation feasibility, rollout readiness, and operational constraints
    • Establish program rhythms including sprint planning, dependency reviews, and stakeholder syncs that keep distributed teams aligned
    • Lead coordination for AI-native product development, ensuring engineering, science, and product teams are synchronized on delivery timelines
    • Navigate high ambiguity-defining execution paths and delivery plans where precedent doesn"t exist
    • Influence senior leadership on delivery approach, resource needs, and technical trade-offs that impact timelines
    • Drive data-driven program management through analysis of delivery velocity, execution health, and program risk indicators
    • Own program retrospectives and continuous improvement mechanisms that improve delivery velocity and execution quality over time
    • Ensure delivery milestones align with product roadmap and business commitments

    A day in the life

    Your days vary. You review delivery status across workstreams, triage blockers, and run dependency reviews with engineering and science teams to align on integration timelines, API contracts, and handoffs. You translate ambiguous challenges into clear execution plans and partner with operations to validate rollout readiness. You facilitate alignment across distributed teams, escalate blockers, and navigate trade-offs between speed and quality. Some days you"re deep in data pipeline readiness or deployment sequencing; others you"re crafting executive updates on program health for leadership reviews. You"re building from the ground up-applying fresh approaches to longstanding challenges and creating mechanisms that will shape how we deliver for years.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. 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. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    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.
