Key job responsibilities

- Define and manage the end-to-end lifecycle of complex, cross-functional technology programs - from requirements gathering and design through build, launch, and iteration.

- Develop functional and non-functional requirements, high-level technical designs, systems integration plans, and technical specifications in partnership with engineering, product and business teams.

- Drive architecture and design discussions, applying deep knowledge of AWS services and AI to evaluate trade-offs, challenge assumptions, and ensure solutions are scalable, secure, AI-driven and operationally sound.

- Lead integration efforts with existing software and hardware systems deployed across Amazon sites, independently resolving cross-team technical challenges and driving alignment across organizations.

- Manage program roadmaps, milestones, and dependencies across multiple engineering teams. Proactively identify risks, develop mitigation strategies, and remove barriers to keep delivery on track.

- Facilitate business and technical meetings, driving crisp decisions and ensuring the right people are in the room at the right time.

- Communicate program status, risks, trade-offs, and outcomes to a broad set of stakeholders - from engineering teams to Directors and VPs - through clear written narratives and verbal updates.

- Schedule and pivot project plans as priorities shift, balancing short-term delivery needs against long-term strategic goals.

- Drive process improvements that increase the speed and quality of delivery across teams, streamlining mechanisms and eliminating unnecessary overhead.

- Drive the expansion and scaling of existing products within your program portfolio into new regions, business lines, or use cases - identifying growth opportunities, building the business case, and leading cross-functional execution to broaden impact.
