DESCRIPTION
The Amazon transportation controllership team is looking for a customer focused, analytically and technically skilled Program Manager to own program solutions for the Operations Finance organization. This team has a fast-paced environment where we “Work Hard, Have Fun, Make History.” On a typical day, you will talk to several customers, define and prioritize the roadmap, deep dive to root-cause a customer issue, release the latest new feature, define and report business metrics, discuss new approaches to building and operating at scale, the list goes on.
Key job responsibilities
The right candidate will possess a strong program management background, has experience leading large projects, and has a well-rounded technical background in current technologies. As a Technical Program Manager, your responsibilities will include writing specifications, driving project schedules from design to release, and managing the production launch. You will lead and coordinate design and implementation efforts, coordinating across multiple teams to develop optimal solutions. You will anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make trade-offs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints. You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, destroy limits to scale, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. This means you are able to develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives while rolling up your sleeves to get the job done. This role will require high judgement on how we can deliver for customers in both the short- and long-term.
