Qualifications

• 3+ years of program or project management experience.
• Experience using data and metrics to determine and drive improvements.
• Experience working cross functionally with tech and non-tech teams.
• Experience building cross-functional partnerships and influencing stakeholders across the organization to act without having a direct reporting relationship.

• Build cross-vertical mechanisms - create escalation paths, shared tooling (ServiceNow workflows, dashboards), and coordination forums for problems that span multiple verticals.
• Develop metrics and executive reporting - define indicators that quantify program health and produce leadership-ready narratives on program adoption, remediation closure, defect reduction, and service reliability improvement.
• Own institutional knowledge - maintain the known-error database and best-practice documentation that program participants draw from.

Job description

Amazon's Corporate Infrastructure Services (CIS) organization manages the full lifecycle of corporate office infrastructure, supporting hundreds of thousands of employees worldwide. We're looking for a Problem Management Program Owner to design, build, and govern the mechanisms that enable organizational leaders to be effective problem managers across corporate office IT infrastructure. Direct problem management is out of scope; your success is measured by how well your participants use the program you build to reduce defects, prevent incident recurrence, and reduce support contacts. You'll use a combination of ServiceNow and internal Amazon tools to meet the needs of your customers, drive adoption across organizational leaders, and continuously improve the program based on adoption data, trend analysis, and participant feedback.

• Drive adoption, enablement, and accountability - coach organizational leaders and remove barriers so service owners internalize problem management as a core operating discipline. Establish governance cadences that drive execution rigor and hold participants accountable for corrective action delivery.
• Build cross-vertical mechanisms - create escalation paths, shared tooling (ServiceNow workflows, dashboards), and coordination forums for problems that span multiple verticals. Enable participants to shift from reactive case resolution to proactive problem identification.
• Develop metrics and executive reporting - define indicators that quantify program health and produce leadership-ready narratives on program adoption, remediation closure, defect reduction, and service reliability improvement.
• Own institutional knowledge - maintain the known-error database and best-practice documentation that program participants draw from.
