AWS Analytics Engineering (AAE) is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to lead delivery and cross-organization coordination for the Foundational Data Technology (FDT) organization. FDT is the central org within AAE that supports AWS Product Analytics - owning the foundational datasets, data platform infrastructure, service transformations, reporting operations, and data content and stewardship that power AWS revenue reporting, usage analytics, and product intelligence.
You will own the delivery strategy across FDT's core programs - Unified Revenue, Unified Actuals, Unified Usage - and a portfolio of internal initiatives including security, compliance, infrastructure modernization, and central engineering programs. This is a cross-organizational role. You will work across AWS Sales, Finance, Product, and CP Platform organizations to drive discussions, seek alignment, and ensure FDT's data products meet the needs of stakeholders across the AWS business. Within AAE, you will partner with data engineering managers across five sub-teams to drive programs, remove blockers, and hold teams accountable to commitments.
You will represent FDT in leadership meetings, present program status and strategy to Director and VP-level audiences, and serve as the primary point of contact for cross-org partners. You will partner directly with the AAE Director and Principal Engineers to shape how the team delivers against its roadmap.
The ideal candidate brings deep understanding of data - including data modeling, pipeline architectures, and analytical workflows - and can step up to perform basic data analysis using SQL or AI-assisted tools when needed to validate assumptions, investigate discrepancies, or support deep dives. You can hold the full picture of a multi-workstream program while diving into technical details, and communicate with clarity to audiences ranging from engineers to VPs.
