Job description

This position is part of the AWS Specialist and Partner Organization (ASP). The Amazon Connect Customer Success (CSS) team is responsible for driving post-sales success for Amazon Connect customers through strategic engagement on migrations, expansions, and AI adoption initiatives. This Senior Technical Program Manager role owns the end-to-end reporting, tooling, and operational program management function for the Connect CSS team.

Key job responsibilities

Reporting and Business Intelligence

• Own end-to-end delivery of all recurring reporting cadences for the Connect CSS team (weekly status updates, WBR, MBR, and QBR), producing the executive summaries and dashboards that give leadership clear, accurate, actionable insight into team performance, customer health, revenue impact, and goal attainment.
• Own revenue realization tracking, partnering with Finance and Service teams on account identification, coverage attribution, and post-sale attainment.
• Define and maintain data collection processes so CSS members provide timely, accurate inputs (migration and expansion status, customer insights, AI adoption metrics) that feed consolidated reporting.

Tooling and Process Improvement

• Own the CSS reporting and tooling strategy, including the evaluation, adoption, and optimization of tools such as Asana, BI dashboards, internal reporting portals, and geographic review dashboards.
• Serve as the primary CSS interlock with Sales Operations and central customer success operations, defining Connect CSS requirements for centralized tooling, dashboards, and post-launch tracking, and holding partner teams accountable to agreed roadmaps.
• Continuously streamline, automate, or eliminate manual reporting to reduce operational burden while improving data quality and timeliness.

Program and Project Management

• Maintain program tracking for CSS goals, pillars, projects, and strategic initiatives in Asana, giving leadership visibility into progress, risks, and dependencies without their chasing information.
• Coordinate cross-functional dependencies across Sales Operations, central customer success operations, the Connect Service Team, and Specialist Sales leadership on reporting requirements, data definitions, and timelines.
• Manage escalation paths for data discrepancies, tooling gaps, and process breakdowns, driving crisp resolution and escalating effectively when needed.

Strategic Contribution

• Contribute to the CSS team's annual operational planning, including goal-setting frameworks, capacity planning inputs, and mechanism design.
• Partner with CSS leadership to evolve the reporting and tooling function as business needs, product launches, and organizational growth demand, advocating for scalable mechanisms over one-off manual solutions.

A day in the life

As the Senior TPM for Connect CSS, you operate at the intersection of business operations and technical tooling. In a given week, you might be finalizing the weekly status update for distribution to leadership and stakeholders, reviewing business review data for accuracy and completeness, running a requirements session with central operations partners on dashboard enhancements, and updating the Asana project board to reflect current project status across the team's strategic pillars.

You are the person the team depends on to make sure reporting is accurate, timely, and tells a clear story. When a new reporting requirement emerges (e.g., revenue realization tracking, a new quarterly review format requested by leadership), you define how the CSS team will collect the data, where it will be stored, and how it will be presented. You coordinate across Sales Operations and central operations teams to align on definitions and ensure CSS needs are represented in centralized tools.

You are always looking for ways to improve. You notice when a manual weekly process could be replaced by an automated dashboard. You push for tooling enhancements that reduce the number of places team members need to update information. You build mechanisms that ensure reporting quality without requiring heroics from individual contributors.
