Role summary
AWS is seeking a Technical Program Manager to scale Ignite, their AI-native customer experience platform. This role involves connecting product, engineering, design, and applied science teams to deliver a GenAI experience across AWS digital properties. The TPM will manage complex technical dependencies, drive features to completion, establish efficient processes, and communicate impact. Key responsibilities include partnering with engineering, diving into technical implementations, owning communications, driving cross-functional alignment, and leading cross-organizational initiatives. The ideal candidate has 5+ years of technical program management experience, 2+ years of software development, and 3+ years of project management disciplines.
Ignite sits at the intersection of GenAI, product, engineering, and design, which means navigating multiple stakeholders, competing priorities, and complex technical dependencies. You'll bring it all together by working closely with engineers to drive features to completion, building the processes and mechanisms that let the team sustain a fast delivery cadence, and communicating the impact of what we're building to the broader organization. As Ignite expands to render across multiple properties, you'll help manage the cross-domain integration, delivery, and rollout that makes that possible.
We're seeking someone who influences without authority and navigates complex organizational dynamics. You'll align stakeholders across multiple teams, manage dependencies that span organizations like TAA and IDC, and build consensus among groups with different priorities, keeping a high-velocity GenAI initiative moving toward the customer outcomes that matter.
Key job responsibilities
- Partner with engineering to drive features to completion, removing blockers and ensuring timely delivery
- Dive deep into technical implementations to understand constraints and drive clarity with engineering and product teams
- Establish scalable mechanisms and processes that enable the team to operate efficiently as it grows
- Own communications about the team's work, from release notes to leadership updates to organizational announcements
- Drive cross-functional alignment and facilitate decision-making among stakeholders with competing priorities
- Serve as the primary coordinator between design system consumers and contributors, building relationships that drive adoption
- Lead cross-organizational initiatives, managing dependencies and driving consensus across team boundaries
- Identify and mitigate risks through proactive stakeholder engagement and transparent communication
