A day in the life
Your primary focus is driving complex, cross-team programs from ambiguity to delivery. On any given day, you might be defining requirements with engineering leads, clearing roadblocks across partner teams, or presenting program trade-offs to senior leadership. You will work closely with science and product teams to integrate ML/AI capabilities into customer-facing experiences. You will balance tactical execution with strategic thinking, making trade-offs between short and long-term needs. Beyond program delivery, you will contribute to team mechanisms, mentor other TPMs, and help shape how we operate as a central program team.
About the team
The Cross Functional Central Program Team drives Prime Video's most critical, ambiguous, and complex initiatives across the organization. We are not embedded within any single team. Instead, we operate across organizational boundaries, partnering with engineering, product, science, and business stakeholders to deliver outcomes for hundreds of millions of customers worldwide. Our mission is to accelerate Prime Video's ability to deliver at scale through central mechanisms like Operational Planning and AI Adoption. We remove roadblocks, manage alignment across leadership, and obsess over Deliver Results, Ownership, Bias for Action, Invent and Simplify, Disagree and Commit, and Earn Trust.
