The Technical Infrastructure Program Manager III (TIPM III) within Data Center Infrastructure Engineering (DCIE) manages the lifecycle of complex, cross-functional infrastructure programs across Amazon Fulfillment and Logistics operations worldwide. This role operates both tactically and strategically - owning end-to-end program execution while defining program mission, vision, and long-term roadmaps that influence business and technology selections within a VP organization.
The TIPM III drives collaboration across engineering, operations, vendors, finance, and field teams to deliver scalable, reliable, and cost-effective infrastructure. This includes owning product performance metrics, infrastructure health dashboards, and executive reporting (MBRs, QBRs, OP narratives) to provide stakholders with visibility into program impact, risks, and investment justification.
This role requires the ability to navigate ambiguity where deployment strategy may not yet be defined, negotiate resources and priorities across teams, and find paths forward in difficult situations - all while mentoring others and driving process improvement.

A day in the life
Your day starts reviewing infrastructure health dashboards and overnight ticket trends to identify issues or opportunities. You'll lead morning syncs with engineers and SysDevs to align on milestones, unblock deliverables, and escalate risks. Midday, you collaborate with vendors and partner teams on deployment schedules or supply chain constraints. Afternoons involve deep dives with SDEs on performance metrics or preparing executive updates for QBRs. You close out by refining roadmap progress, intake priorities, or mentoring peers on scaling programs - all while shaping infrastructure direction across thousands of Amazon FCs.
