Full Job Description
We are looking for an entrepreneurial, results-oriented Sr. Program Manager to own end-to-end planning and execution of product initiatives that drive seller success and accelerate AWD's evolution as the single, integrated supply chain solution for sellers operating across multiple channels. This is a unique opportunity to operate in a fast-paced, startup-like environment within Amazon - where speed, ownership, and customer obsession drive everything we do.

Key job responsibilities

Operational Planning: Lead AWD's annual and mid-year planning cycles - owning goal-setting and cross-functional alignment to long-range targets.

Product Initiative Execution: Define roadmaps, milestones, and success metrics; drive delivery across product, engineering, operations, and finance teams.

Launch Readiness: Own change management, stakeholder communication, and risk mitigation to ensure seamless rollouts of new capabilities.

Performance & Insights: Establish mechanisms to measure initiative impact and drive continuous improvement through data-driven retrospectives.

Seller Advocacy: Translate seller needs into actionable program requirements that inform product priorities.

Process & Scalability: Build frameworks and processes that support AWD's rapid growth and increasing complexity.

Strategic Input: Feed execution learnings back into OP planning cycles to shape future investment priorities.

A day in the life

No two days are the same. One morning you're leading an OP1 planning session, aligning stakeholders on resource narratives and long-range goals. By midday, you're in a cross-functional sprint review with Product and Engineering, tracking milestones and unblocking dependencies for an upcoming launch. Later, you're synthesizing program health data to surface risks, then preparing a strategic business review for leadership that connects initiative progress to seller outcomes. This role blends operational planning, cross-functional execution, and strategic storytelling - all in service of scaling AWD's product capabilities.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- 5+ years of program or project management experience

- Experience using data and metrics to determine and drive improvements

- Experience owning program strategy, end to end delivery, and communicating results to senior leadership

- Bachelor's degree

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- 3+ years of driving process improvements experience

- Master's degree, or MBA in business, operations, human resources, adult education, organizational development, instructional design or related field
