Senior Technical Program Manager, Partner Solutions

Amazon Ads Partner Solutions brings partner technology integrations - across the Ads API, Amazon DSP, Amazon Marketing Cloud, and Amazon Marketing Stream - to market. As a Technical Program Manager (TPM), you own the programs and mechanisms that move partner integrations from scoping to launch at predictable speed and quality. You run the cross-pod launch calendar, own intake and exit for prototyping/co-build engagements, and define the metrics and operating cadences (WBR inputs, time-to-integration, reuse) that leadership uses to steer the portfolio. You turn a set of independent partner builds into a coordinated pipeline - identifying critical path, clearing cross-org dependencies across Product, Engineering, Partner Development, and the pods, and escalating with judgment. You own named programs with explicit launch goals, measured on time-to-integration and throughput.

Key job responsibilities

- Own named launch programs end to end, each with defined scope, milestones, and measurable launch goals.

- Run the cross-pod launch calendar, sequencing partner integrations and identifying critical path across teams.

- Own intake and exit for prototyping/co-build engagements, enforcing entry criteria, timebox, and handoff.

- Define and report the portfolio's operating metrics - time-to-integration, throughput, reuse, WBR inputs.

- Drive cross-org dependencies to closure across Product, Engineering, Partner Development, and the pods.

- Run the operating cadences and mechanisms (reviews, swim-lane coordination, status narratives) that keep programs on track.

- Identify and mitigate program risks before they become launch blockers; escalate with sound judgment.

- Streamline or eliminate excess process, standardizing how integrations move through the pipeline.

A day in the life

Customers: the partner pods (M1-M3) and their SAs, whose integrations the TPM sequences to launch; partners benefit through faster, more predictable delivery.

Internal stakeholders: Solutions Architects and pod managers, Amazon Ads Product & Engineering, Partner Development Managers, the Principal SA (prototyping/Gen AI intake), and leadership (WBR/program reviews).

Problems solved: integrations stall on cross-team dependencies and unclear critical path; launches slip without a shared calendar; prototyping work lacks disciplined intake/exit; leadership lacks reliable time-to-integration metrics.

Daily: run program and launch cadences, track critical path, unblock cross-org dependencies, manage intake/exit, maintain the metrics, and report program status and risk.
