Job description

Description

The PubTech (Publisher Technologies) team builds and operates extensible services that empower publishers (1p and 3p) to improve the monetization of their customer experiences, along with the experiences themselves. We bias toward standards-based and flexible designs that allow publishers the ability to invent on top of our solutions and to interoperate well with other advertising technology providers; both internal and external.

We are looking for a Sr. TPM who will be responsible for defining and delivering programs with significant complexity and/or that have broad cross-organizational, global, or technology impact. Your work will focus on large engineering efforts that solve significantly complex or endemic problems. You will be trusted to operate with complete independence and are often assigned to focus on areas where the business and/or architectural strategy has not yet been defined.

Key job responsibilities

• You effectively partner with all levels of leadership.
• You are adept at building consensus.
• You are able to represent, verbally and in writing, complex decisions, hard trade-offs, and potential solutions clearly to leaders up to 3 levels above to help them understand the decisions they have to make and what options they have.
• You influence organization priorities, system owners, business, and technology direction. You manage cross-functional communication to ensure all stakeholders are informed and needs aligned.
• You recognize when current programs are susceptible to prior technology failure patterns and actively steer teams to avoid repeating these failures.
• You know when a design or solution requires additional technical guidance (e.g., from senior engineers or subject matter experts). You show excellent judgment in driving executive-level escalations.
• You deliver solutions that meet Amazon high standards for customer satisfaction, efficiency, stability, extensibility, simplicity, and operational excellence.
• You amplify your impact by educating the TPM and engineering communities (e.g., in your organization, at your location, or more broadly) on program management best practices. You participate, sharing knowledge and collaborating with other TPMs, specifically attending and/or presenting at internal conferences.

Basic Qualifications

• 5+ years of technical product or program management experience

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of project management disciplines including scope, schedule, budget, quality, along with risk and critical path management experience
• Experience managing projects across cross functional teams, building sustainable processes and coordinating release schedules
