Technical Program Manager Amazon
Seattle, WA

Job Description

The Advertising Content Experience team's mission is to create new ad products that make the experience of shopping on Amazon more delightful. We focus on delivering content-rich video ad experiences optimized for delivery on mobile devices. We are looking for a TPM who can help us tackle the challenge of building a new advertising business from the ground-up inside of Amazon.

In this role, you will own scoping and delivering large-scale technical projects end-to-end. Responsibilities include gathering business and technical requirements from internal and external teams, writing spec documents, managing project schedules, and leading product launches. As a TPM, you will play a critical role on our Metrics Optimization, Data Science, and Analytics (MODA) team, who validate and publish all of the metrics that enable us and the advertisers we support to make business-critical decisions.

The right candidate for this role is someone who has a strong program management background, is comfortable working with large, complex data sets, and has the ability to cultivate relationships and earn trust with teams both inside and outside of Amazon. You must be able to thrive in a start-up environment and be willing to not only operate strategically, but be willing to roll up your sleeves and help get the job done.

Specific skills we are looking for:

* Adept at getting things done in a startup environment with lots of ambiguity but also lots of opportunity
* Exceptional project management skills and attention to detail
* Ability to inspire teams to work on not just what's urgent, but what's most important
* Strong written and verbal communication skills
* Ability to think strategically and act tactically
