The ideal candidate will be a strong communicator both written and verbal, in project management of technical initiatives.
Strong judgement, negotiation skills, ability to influence without authority, analytical talent and leadership are characteristics of a successful TIPM. They will also have the capacity to thrive and succeed in a fast-paced environment and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. In addition to those with infrastructure delivery experience, candidates possessing a proven success in delivery in architecture/design, mechanical/electrical engineering, software/network engineering or IT/telecom infrastructure deployments, will have a distinct advantage.
The TIPM will be familiar with a variety of project management tools, methodologies and techniques for all phases of the project lifecycle. They'll be able to exhibit demonstrated experience in core project management disciplines including scope, schedule, budget, resources, quality and risk management, reporting and metric development/tracking. Other requirements include experience with MS Office, SPM, Service Now and MS Project.
Do you look around corners to find ways of optimizing resources and speeding up delivery? Do you enjoy dealing with ambiguity and finding solutions independently? Are you passionate about using technology to solve business problems that have a big customer impact?
At Amazon, you'll work alongside the latest AI and GenAI tools that are increasingly woven into how teams operate: from AI-powered capabilities that accelerate decision-making, to Generative AI that helps you focus on work that truly matters. You'll have opportunities and resources to develop AI fluency at your own pace, with continuous learning built into the culture.

A day in the life
Your day spans both strategic and tactical work. You might begin by reviewing program health metrics and preparing a narrative update for senior leadership, then shift to a working session with engineering leads to resolve a complex technical dependency blocking a multi-site deployment. Later, you could be mentoring a junior program manager on how to structure a difficult stakeholder conversation, or contributing to your organization's annual planning process. Your customers include Fulfillment operations leaders, engineering teams, and the broader VP organization that depends on your programs to deliver on time and at scale. You are the person others look to when programs get complex — and you thrive in that environment.
