We are looking for an experienced Senior Technical Program Manager to lead the delivery of complex cross-team projects on the Alexa Shopping List roadmap, with an enormous opportunity to impact customer experience. You will drive all parts of the program management and software delivery life-cycle, including planning, analysis, design, development, testing, launch, and operations.

Given that this is an early-stage initiative, you will play an active role in translating business and functional requirements into concrete deliverables, and build quick prototypes or proofs of concept in partnership with other technology leaders. You should be comfortable with a degree of ambiguity that's higher than most projects and relish the idea of solving problems. You will tackle challenging, novel situations every day and you'll have the opportunity to work with multiple technical teams at Amazon. Along the way, we guarantee that you'll learn a lot, have fun and delight millions of customers.
