Description

About the Role

The AFBP (Amazon Future Builder Program) Program Manager is a high-impact, cross-functional role responsible for the end-to-end management and transformation of Amazon India's flagship leadership development program for MBA hires. This role directly oversees three swimlanes — Stores, Finance, and RBS — managing the full lifecycle from demand collection through graduation, while partnering with L8 and L10 leaders across business and PXT to deliver on the program's core promise: accelerated career growth for premium talent.

Incumbent of this role is expected to transform how AFBP operates — leveraging Agentic AI to reimagine manual processes, building deep program partnerships modeled on best-in-class benchmarks, and driving measurable promotion outcomes that justify the program's investment thesis.

Key job responsibilities

Program Lifecycle Management

Own the end-to-end AFBP journey across three swimlanes (Stores, Finance, RBS) and multiple concurrent cohorts (3–4 active batches at any given time)
Partner with AUTA during demand collection, ensuring business leaders align demand with OPEX goals and honor commitments for incoming cohorts
Design and execute the annual Incubator Program — a one-week intensive onboarding experience requiring coordination with multiple L8+ leaders, curriculum design, logistics, and cross-functional alignment
Drive rotation matching: understanding AFBP aspirations, mapping available roles across orgs, matching employee preferences with business needs, and ensuring smooth handovers between managers across stints
Manage performance evaluation cycles, talent reviews (Q1/Q3), mentorship tracking, engagement programming, and graduation (job code transitions, compensation updates)

Program Transformation through AI

Deploy Agentic AI to automate lifecycle communications, rotation nudges, manager follow-ups, and stakeholder coordination — eliminating manual email-heavy processes
Build and iterate an AI-powered Rotation Matching Engine that reads available roles, employee strengths, program construct, and historical mapping outcomes to recommend optimal placements — learning and improving with each rotational cycle
Use AI to surface insights on program health: promotion readiness signals, engagement patterns, and early warning indicators for at-risk participants

Strategic Program Partnership & Benchmarking

Liaise with IN OPS to adopt and adapt their best-in-class mode
Drive accountability from leaders and managers who are expected to invest in talent development — ensuring the accelerated learning promise translates into actual promotion outcomes, not just rotational exposure
Build and present QBRs for each swimlane, inspecting promotion pipelines, identifying blockers, and escalating where the program's career growth promise is not being honored
Partner with AUTA on internship experience design, campus strategy alignment, and incubator planning

Basic Qualifications

3+ years of working cross functionally with tech and non-tech teams experience
3+ years of program or project management experience

3+ years of driving end to end delivery, and communicating results to senior leadership experience
3+ years of driving process improvements experience
Experience in stakeholder management, dealing with multiple stakeholders at varied levels of the organization
