Work hard, have fun, make history. That's what we do every day at Amazon. As a key leader within Amazon's Global Real Estate & Facilities (GREF) team, the Space Program Manager will own the end-to-end space allocation strategy for their assigned Finance Operations business units, driving results by managing complex programs across multiple stakeholders with competing priorities and tight timelines.The Space Program Manager will take full ownership of aligning real estate strategy to business needs in partnership with key GREF stakeholders while maintaining a customer-centric approach.
