Job description

Job ID: 10590690 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Work hard, have fun, make history. That's what we do every day at Amazon. As a key member of Amazon's Global Real Estate & Facilities (GREF) team, the Senior Program Manager will be directly responsible for implementing the portfolio strategies developed for the Puget Sound region - turning city, building, and org-level strategy into executed outcomes. Working in close partnership with the Portfolio Strategist, this role owns the end-to-end delivery of lease, build, move, consolidate, and close actions, keeping each initiative on scope, on schedule, and aligned to business needs.

The Senior Program Manager will serve as the connective tissue between strategy and execution - taking the recommendations the Strategist aligns with GREF decision makers and senior business leaders, and driving the cross-functional work required to make them real. They will build and manage detailed implementation plans, track milestones and dependencies, surface and resolve risks, and keep stakeholders aligned on status and next steps. They will use reporting and data to monitor progress and communicate clearly with partners at all levels of the organization.

The optimal candidate is an experienced, highly organized program manager who thrives in an entrepreneurial culture - providing structure, driving accountability, and communicating relentlessly - while remaining approachable and consultative. They are not afraid to dive deep into details, take ownership, and think big. The candidate must be able to balance frugality with creativity in solving delivery challenges and approach problem-solving with an emphasis on root cause. An ideal candidate can navigate high levels of ambiguity, demonstrate a strong bias for action, and take calculated risks in a fast-paced environment.

Key job responsibilities

• Own the implementation of Puget Sound portfolio strategies, translating approved strategic plans into detailed, executable program plans with clear milestones, owners, and timelines.
• Work in direct partnership with the Portfolio Strategist to ensure execution stays aligned with strategic intent as plans move from recommendation to delivery.
• Work cross-functionally with a wide range of teams, including Amazon Business Orgs, Regional Portfolio Management, Occupancy Planning, Design and Construction, IT, Security, Workplace, Finance, and Facilities.
• Drive coordination of lease, build, move, consolidate, and close actions across the Puget Sound portfolio, managing dependencies and keeping initiatives on track.
• Track progress against plan, proactively identify and mitigate risks and blockers, and elevate decisions when needed.
• Manage cross-functional engagement with internal stakeholders (SPMs, D&C, MAC, RE&F), vendor partners, and customers to drive coordination of efforts.
• Provide regular status reporting and data-driven updates to stakeholders and senior leaders.
• Effectively prioritize work efforts across vendor partner contingency.

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

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of driving process improvements experience
• Master's degree, or MBA in business, operations, human resources, adult education, organizational development, instructional design or related field
• Knowledge of general AI tools
• Experience designing, implementing, and scaling upskilling, apprenticeship, or workforce development programs across large-scale operations or corporate environments, including forecasting workforce needs and leveraging analytics to drive program decisions
