Bellevue, WA, USA
Amazon's Integrated Design Solutions (IDS) team seeks an Architectural Design Manager to lead rapid composite design delivery and operational readiness for Amazon's fulfillment network. This hands-on role works on projects closely with a Sr. Architectural Design Manager and Design Project Lead to deliver composite inputs and validation, combining 2D/3D design execution with project and program management. The successful candidate will execute design work, manage program delivery, and maintain cross-functional alignment while ensuring composite accuracy and quality standards.
The role requires someone who can collaborate with design teams across the organization, driving composite delivery from kickoff to completion with speed and precision while maintaining quality standards and meeting tight timelines.
Key job responsibilities
Design Execution & Delivery
- Work on projects closely with Sr. Architectural Design Manager and Design Project Lead to deliver composite inputs and conduct validation reviews
- Own end-to-end composite design delivery for high-impact programs, producing accurate 2D/3D designs using AutoCAD and Revit
- Translate operational requirements into composite designs that meet construction and launch standards
- Support clash detection and under-the-roof design validation to reduce rework and protect capital investment
- Ensure composite inputs are accurate, complete, and validated before handoff to downstream stakeholders
Program & Project Management
- Manage project and program timelines, tracking deliverables, surfacing risks early, and keeping stakeholders informed
- Collaborate closely and continuously with design teams to align on scope, resolve blockers, and accelerate delivery
- Coordinate with Sr. Architectural Design Manager and Design Project Lead on project execution, composite review cycles, and validation checkpoints
- Communicate proactively with business partners to maintain visibility on program status and design decisions
- Adapt quickly as project requirements evolve, maintaining quality without sacrificing speed
A day in the life
Your day splits between doing and managing. Mornings might find you heads-down in Revit working through a composite, while afternoons involve reviews with design partners, tracking open items, and ensuring nothing blocks delivery. You know where every deliverable stands, what's at risk, and what needs to happen next.
You communicate clearly, make quick decisions, and bring people with you. When timelines tighten, you stay focused, stay collaborative, and find a way through.
