Technical Program Manager Amazon
Seattle, WA

Job Description

Amazon eCommerce Foundation's Global Tax team needs a Technical Program Manager who can lead the charge on technically challenging programs and projects. The Tax Engine Artisans (TEA) TEAM has a significantly wider perspective than many TPMs are used to. This is because we are a dependency for a lot of teams and projects across Amazon. For these reasons the TEA TEAM has more visibility than most teams within Amazon on the direction that Amazon is going and opens up significant areas of specialization within the group. You will have direct influence on the overall architecture of the platform. Our team is focused on delivering solutions to Tax Service, Tax Business, Legal and other corporate functions.

The ideal candidate is a creative, demonstrated leader/manager with superior analytical abilities. This opportunity requires excellent technical, problem-solving, and communication skills. This candidate should possess verifiable leadership qualities including being proactive, thoughtful, thorough, decisive, and flexible, conducting themselves professionally and with integrity at all times. The candidate is not just a policy maker/spokesperson but drives to get the right things done. At the core of the position is delivery. You will have a strong working knowledge of Program Management technologies and thrive in a fast paced, dynamic environment.

Qualified candidates have experience defining projects, collecting requirements, writing detailed functional and test specifications, coordinating efforts to scope, schedule, and deploy new features sets; as well as analyzing cost/benefit of feature selection and communicating results throughout the organization.
