Sr. Manager, Technical Program Manager, Alexa Connections

Job ID: 10591657 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Come define what it means for AI to communicate on behalf of humans. With over 600 million Alexa-enabled devices in customers’ homes, Amazon is entering a new era - where advances in generative AI are transforming Alexa from a reactive assistant into a proactive, deeply personal communications partner. Alexa+ represents a step-change in how people connect: with each other, their communities, and the digital world.

At Alexa Connections, our mission is to build the most trusted AI communication layer in the world - one that helps customers get things done effortlessly while creating meaningful, human moments at scale.

We own end-to-end communication experiences across: Household connection (Announcements, Drop-In), Personal communication (Video & voice calling, messaging, email, sharing), and AI-powered productivity (calendar/task extraction, intelligent summarization, proactive assistance)

We are also pioneering real-time, multimodal AI primitives that power experiences across the Amazon ecosystem - spanning Alexa, Tablets, Fire TV, Ring, and beyond. Generative AI is not a feature here - it is foundational to how we build, ship, and scale.

Why Join

• Build AI-powered products used by millions
• Work on 0-1 innovation with LLMs and AGI systems
• Lead in a fast-moving, high-impact space

Key job responsibilities

• Lead and grow a team of 10+ TPMs
• Drive end-to-end program execution (strategy -> launch -> flywheel)
• Partner with Engineering, Product, UX, and leadership
• Own roadmap prioritization and portfolio management
• Deliver scalable processes for agility, quality, and execution
• Manage executive communication and stakeholder alignment
