DESCRIPTION

The Advertising Trust (AT) organization is at the center of Amazon Ads, one of Amazon’s fastest growing businesses. Every ad that flows through our Amazon systems, or is presented on one of our owned and operated sites, needs to adhere to the policies that AT creates. As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will be driving the delivery and execution of critical cross-functional solutions and services that contribute to this mission.

Key job responsibilities
As a Senior Technical Program Manager in the Advertising Trust organization, you will work closely with software development engineers, product managers, scientists, ML engineers, data engineers, and business operations to develop innovative cross-functional solutions that enable Advertising Policy and Moderation at scale.

In this role, you will be responsible for driving and delivering large technical projects end-to-end. Responsibilities include defining and driving project schedules from design to release, managing risks and issues, ensuring dependencies are identified and managed. As a Sr. TPM, you will anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make trade-offs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints.

To succeed in this role, you will need to have both technical and functional acumen as well as a passion for ownership, communication and bringing clarity and structure to ambiguity. You will be equally comfortable and adept in working with waterfall and agile practices. This is a high-impact role that will influence the direction of Amazon’s advertising moderation systems.
