Principal Technical Program Manager, R2L - Analytics & AI (Fulfillment & Operations)

Principal Technical Program Manager, R2L - Analytics & AI

Job ID: 10586525 | Amazon.com Services LLC

The R2L (Rapid and Rural Logistics) team is responsible for building the next generation supply chain for Amazon's world‑class ultra‑fast customer experiences, including Amazon Fresh groceries, Sub‑Same Day, Amazon Now, and other soon‑to‑launch exciting new businesses. Join us and you'll be taking part in serving our customers in as fast as 30 minutes!

We are looking for a Principal Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead our most complex, cross‑organizational technical programs spanning AI/ML, data engineering, and business intelligence. In this role, you will own the end‑to‑end delivery of our multi‑year AI roadmap across the R2L value chain — Launch, Planning, Operations, and Analytics — translating ambiguous business strategy into executable technical programs that deliver measurable impact at scale.

As the senior‑most TPM on the team, you will operate with significant autonomy, setting the technical program strategy rather than executing a predefined plan. You will drive alignment across Product, Business Intelligence Engineering, Data Engineering, Data Science, and Systems Development, and partner directly with senior leadership (Director/VP) to shape priorities, surface tradeoffs, and remove organizational blockers. You will be trusted to identify which problems are worth solving, define the approach, and hold a large, distributed set of stakeholders to a single coherent plan.

This is a high‑visibility role with a broad blast radius. The programs you lead directly inform leadership decision‑making, carry significant cost‑savings entitlement, and set the foundation for autonomous, self‑optimizing operations across the R2L network. You will raise the bar for technical program management across the organization — establishing mechanisms, standards, and operating rhythms that other teams adopt.

Key job responsibilities

• Own the lifecycle of large, complex, multi‑team technology programs from concept through delivery — defining the long‑term roadmap for data solutions, intelligent analytics, and platform modernization across the R2L value chain (Launch, Planning, Operations, and Analytics).


• Champion the adoption of Generative AI tools, drive measurable productivity gains, and establish best practices for AI‑assisted planning, execution, and reporting.


• Drive alignment across senior stakeholders — Product, Business Intelligence Engineering, Data Engineering, Data Science, and Systems Development — on definitions, standards, architecture, and priorities.


• Influence system owners, architecture decisions, and organizational priorities across VP orgs, operating effectively without direct authority.


• Establish scalable delivery mechanisms — intake, prioritization, roadmap governance, operating cadences, and risk management — adopted across the org.


• Own program communication — drive crisp decisions, clear blockers, escalation appropriately, and present effectively to senior leadership; draft strategic documents (MTR, MBR/QBR, design docs, PR/FAQ, OP1/OP2) that synthesize complex problems into clear narratives.
