Sr. Technical Program Manager

Amazon is building the future of manufacturing and industrial operations, combining robotics technology with world-class software engineering to deliver AI-native solutions at unprecedented scale. You'll work with passionate builders who are customer-obsessed and committed to technical excellence in applying buffer-centric and flow optimization principles to create environments where humans and robots work safely and efficiently together. In this environment, your contributions directly impact Amazon's ability to serve customers worldwide by optimizing entire systems rather than individual components.

Our team is part of the IT organization focusing on Amazon's industrial robotics. We onboard, integrate, and maintain the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) platforms and business applications our customers use to build robots, spanning workflow automation through factory-floor operations. You will own delivery of those programs as the group grows, and carry the sourcing and vendor work that makes them land.

Key job responsibilities

• Drive end-to-end delivery of programs across the portfolio, owning the schedule, scope, cross-workstream dependencies, and risks.
• Serve as the program's point of coordination across our customers in manufacturing engineering, controls engineering, operations, and facilities, keeping workstreams aligned to an integrated delivery plan.
• Own commercial off-the-shelf platform onboarding end to end, from vendor engagement and licensing through Amazon security and compliance review to supported operations, treating that review as a gate on delivery rather than a step added later.
• Manage vendor relationships day to day, covering quotes, statements of work, deliverables, milestones, and quality, holding partners accountable to their commitments.
• Own the sourcing and procurement pipeline for the team
• Own the budget view for the team's programs, tracking committed and forecast spend across licensing, equipment and services, and flagging variance early.
• Define the KPIs and SLAs for the platforms the team runs, and report program and service health to senior leadership.
• Own the mechanisms that keep programs on track
• Drive requirements and design decisions to closure, surfacing trade-offs and escalating the right decisions at the right altitude to keep delivery moving.
• Own launch readiness for new platforms
