    Description

    Customer Logistics Security (CLS) protects the physical and digital infrastructure that moves every Amazon package. We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive security program execution across Operational Technology (OT) and infrastructure environments, coordinating with engineering teams, business stakeholders, and external partners to deliver outcomes that reduce risk at scale.

    • You will own the day-to-day execution of cross-functional security programs, managing dependencies, timelines, and stakeholder alignment across internal and external teams.
    • You will establish and run operating mechanisms that keep programs on track and leadership informed.
    • You will operate in a space where security requirements intersect with industrial systems, network infrastructure, and physical operations, requiring you to build context quickly and translate between technical and business audiences.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own end-to-end execution of security programs from planning through delivery, managing scope, timelines, dependencies, and risks across multiple teams.
    • Establish and maintain operating mechanisms (status cadences, tracking artifacts, escalation paths) that create visibility and drive accountability.
    • Coordinate with internal engineering teams and external stakeholders to align priorities, secure commitments, and unblock delivery.
    • Identify and resolve cross-team dependencies and conflicts before they become blockers, escalating with data when needed.
    • Translate technical security problems into structured program plans with clear milestones, owners, and success criteria.
    • Drive closure on action items, decisions, and deliverables, ensuring programs maintain momentum through competing priorities.
    • Communicate program status, risks, and trade-offs to leadership in a clear, concise format that enables decision-making.
    • Contribute to process improvement by identifying recurring friction in program execution and building mechanisms to prevent it.

    About the team

    The OT & Infrastructure Security (OTIS) team is part of Customer Logistics Security (CLS). We secure the operational technology and network infrastructure that powers Amazon"s fulfillment, sortation, and delivery network. Our scope includes industrial control systems, facility networks, and the security architecture that protects them. We operate at the intersection of physical operations and cybersecurity, which means the problems are tangible, the scale is massive, and the work matters immediately.

    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.
