We are looking for a Program Manager III who thrives in ambiguity, brings structure to the undefined, and drives meaningful results across teams and organizations. In this role, you will own the lifecycle of programs with considerable business impact, partnering with stakeholders to define strategy, set priorities, and deliver measurable outcomes. You will use data to illuminate the path forward, craft compelling narratives that align leadership, and build mechanisms that endure well beyond any single initiative.

After lunch, you could be drafting a narrative that frames a complex trade-off for senior leadership, followed by a deep-dive with an engineering team to unblock a critical dependency. Throughout it all, you stay connected to the details while keeping the broader strategic picture in focus.About the team:Our team is committed to delivering programs that create real, measurable value for Amazon's customers and business. We operate in a collaborative environment where clear thinking, strong written communication, and a willingness to challenge assumptions are valued.
