Key job responsibilities
Our team is seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager to manage large, cutting-edge programs with multi-year projects. In this role, you will be responsible for managing cross-cutting programs across the Last Mile org and our partners, delivering large solutions that span multiple businesses, technology, and operational teams. These projects will include initiatives, such as, rolling out new technology to new geographies as we expand, creating technical solutions to support new businesses and strategic Amazon initiatives, and building great technology platforms that can scale to Amazon’s size and global market places.

The right candidate will possess a strong program management background, will have demonstrated experience-leading medium to large projects across multiple teams, and will have a well-rounded technical background in current web technologies. You will thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, and not be hindered by ambiguity or priorities. This means you are not only able to develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives, but can also roll up your sleeves, dig in and get the job done. As a seasoned TPM, you will anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make tradeoffs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints. An ability to take large, complex projects and break them down into manageable pieces, develop functional specifications, then deliver them in a successful and timely manner is expected. Maturity, high judgment, negotiation skills, ability to influence, analytical talent and leadership are essential to success in this role.
