Job description

Sr. Technical Program Manager, Global Procurement Technology

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 help lead that transformation. In this role you'll help advance procurement from individual AI-assisted productivity toward an operating model where AI increasingly supports and automates processes, with people orchestrating, verifying, and governing the work. 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.

Key Job Responsibilities

• Define and manage the end-to-end lifecycle of complex, cross-functional technology programs, from problem definition and design through build, launch, and iteration.
• Manage roadmaps, milestones, and dependencies across multiple engineering teams, proactively identifying risks and removing barriers to keep delivery on track.
• Stand up and operate new delivery team structures for AI transformation initiatives, from team charter and composition through solutions running in production.
• Drive architecture and design discussions, applying working knowledge of AI and AWS services to evaluate trade-offs and ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and operationally sound.
• Build the mechanisms the program depends on, including team and charter registries, playbooks for standing up new teams, and the feedback loop that carries learning between business areas.
• Facilitate business and technical meetings, driving crisp decisions and ensuring the right people are in the room at the right time.
• Communicate program status, risks, trade-offs, and outcomes to a broad set of stakeholders, from engineering teams to Directors and VPs, through clear written narratives and verbal updates.
• Independently identify and resolve structural blockers across teams and systems, including governance gaps, duplicated solutions, missing orchestration between existing tools, and unclear ownership.
• Drive process improvements that increase the speed and quality of delivery across teams, streamlining mechanisms and eliminating unnecessary overhead.
