In this role you will be the single threaded leader owning programs to deliver complex projects across multiple Director/VP organizations. The role will work with a diverse set of stakeholders to drive automation and optimization including Amazon Catalog, listing experience, shipment inbound to our fulfillment centers to how material is stored in our warehouses to customer shipment outbound. Responsibilities also include disambiguating complex problem, identifying business and tech requirements, solution design and architecture, tech design, building MVP and tech roadmaps, and product delivery / launch.

As a TPM, you will anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make trade-offs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints. An ability to take large, complex projects and break them down into manageable pieces, then deliver them in a successful and timely manner is expected. Maturity, high judgment, negotiation skills, ability to influence, analytical talent and leadership are essential to success in this role.
