Description

Amazon's Global Procurement Organization is on a mission to transform how procurement works at Amazon scale. We build the technology that powers billions of dollars in purchasing decisions, and We're looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to lead the delivery of technical solutions and programs focused on inventory management of non-inventory supplies across Amazon's global operations. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of technology, operations, and business strategy — where your work directly influences how Amazon procures and manages supplies at scale.

In This Role, You Will

Own and drive complex, cross-functional programs that modernize how non-inventory supplies are managed across Amazon's global network of sites.
Collaborate deeply with business partners and technology teams within the Operations business unit to ensure solutions integrate seamlessly with existing software and hardware deployed at Amazon Operations sites worldwide
Actively participate in architecture and design discussions, leveraging a strong understanding of AWS services to drive the right technical decisions and trade-offs
Independently identify and resolve integration challenges across external and internal teams, driving alignment without requiring constant escalation
Champion the use of AI and machine learning tools to automate workflows, surface insights, and transform procurement technology
Define program strategy, set objectives, manage roadmaps, and drive delivery across multiple engineering teams and organizations
Proactively identify risks, clear blockers, and accelerate progress by driving crisp, timely decisions
Communicate program status, trade-offs, and outcomes effectively to senior leadership including Directors and VPs

What We're Looking For

Successful applicants will have experience developing functional and non-functional requirements, writing high-level technical designs, systems integration plans, and technical specifications. You are someone who thrives facilitating both business and technical meetings, partnering with resources outside of your immediate team to get things done, and navigating shifting priorities by scheduling and pivoting project plans as needed. You bring a track record of communicating status clearly, resolving risks proactively, removing barriers for engineering teams, leading cross-functional teams, and communicating effectively to a large number of stakeholders across multiple organizations.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with AWS services and cloud-native architectures, and can hold their own in design reviews and technical deep dives. You have a strong grasp of AI and machine learning technologies and understand how to apply them to solve real-world operational problems. You are comfortable operating in ambiguity, bringing structure and clarity where none exists, and you have a bias for action that keeps programs moving forward. Above all, you are customer-obsessed — always working backwards from the needs of the business and the end user.

Why You'll Love It Here

Our team thinks big and moves fast. We're passionate about innovating on behalf of our customers and tackling problems at a scale few organizations ever encounter. You'll work in a fast paced environment where your designs directly impact how Amazon operates, with the freedom to push boundaries and make bold ideas real.

Lead integration efforts with existing software and hardware systems deployed across Amazon sites, independently resolving cross-team technical challenges and driving alignment across organizations.
Manage program roadmaps, milestones, and dependencies across multiple engineering teams. Proactively identify risks, develop mitigation strategies, and remove barriers to keep delivery on track.
