This role will own the end-to-end capital approval process for Last Mile's development portfolio - from OP budget planning through Capital Appropriation Request (CAR) creation and approval routing. You will be the connective tissue between senior leadership, construction execution teams, and cross-functional stakeholders, ensuring capital is approved efficiently and with the strategic context leadership needs to make informed decisions as we scale Amazon's delivery network.

A day in the life

Your primary focus is getting capital approved so buildings get built on time. Day-to-day, you're building CAR packages by pulling cost estimates and strategic context from Real Estate, Pre-Construction, Construction, and Finance into a clear story for leadership. You route approvals, track the pipeline, and follow up when things stall. You review cost accuracy before submissions, flag outliers, and maintain a portfolio-level view of what's approved, in flight, and at risk. During OP cycles, you own timelines, cost aggregation, and the narrative documents behind the numbers. When a process is slow, you fix it.

Basic Qualifications

• 5+ years of program or project management experience
• Experience using data and metrics to determine and drive improvements
• Experience owning program strategy, end-to-end delivery, and communicating results to senior leadership
• Bachelor's degree
