As a Technical Program Manager (TPM) within Amazon's Selection and Catalog Systems, you will own solutions to a large set of customer-facing product catalog issues that influence critical business processes and product discovery. Our work is at the cutting edge of AI and big data analytics. Here is a taste of incredibly captivating questions that you, as a leader, will be asking yourself almost every day:
How do we process datasets (in excess of billions of records and hundreds of TB in size) that continue to increase at an incredibly fast rate with even fewer computing resources?
How do we run Gen AI solutions at scale of Amazon's catalog?
How do we keep raising the bar on the reach of our automated solutions to reduce/eliminate manual fixes to the catalog?
How do we make sure that you always get relevant results when you search for products on Amazon?
If you like to answer these questions and are excited about using AI, information retrieval and cloud computing to solve highly visible, fast evolving, ambiguous problems, then this position is for you.
In this role you will be responsible for scoping and delivering large projects across the Amazon Catalog Systems. Responsibilities include collection of business and systems requirements from internal and external customers, writing specifications including success criteria, driving project schedules from design to release, and managing the production launch.

You will be expected to make appropriate tradeoffs to optimize time-to-market, clearly communicate goals, roles, responsibilities, and desired outcomes to stakeholders, internal cross-functional and remote project teams. You will have end to end ownership - all the way from defining the strategy to measuring metrics to monitoring day to day progress of these programs. You will provide direct visibility to senior leadership on all aspects of your programs on a regular cadence.
