Amazon Payments Services build systems that process payments at an unprecedented scale, with accuracy, speed, and mission-critical availability. We process millions of transactions every day worldwide across various payment methods. Over 100 million customers and merchants send hundreds of billions of dollars moving at light-speed through our systems annually. To power the Amazon flywheel, we are embarking on a journey to accelerate payments expansion worldwide and lead the FinTech innovation to deliver awesome payment experience to our customers through powerful and yet simple APIs. We need a Senior Technical Program Manager to define the strategy in collaboration with our product management and lead the design and execution of critical large scale global programs across our Amazon platform software and services to fulfill our vision.

The right candidate for this role is someone who has a strong program management background, is comfortable working with large, complex data sets, and has the ability to cultivate relationships and earn trust with teams both inside and outside of Amazon. You must be able to thrive in a start-up environment and be willing to not only operate strategically, but roll up your sleeves and help get the job done.
