Sr. Technical Program Manager, Alexa Connected Devices

Alexa+ is Amazon’s next-generation AI-powered personal assistant, built on large language models to deliver natural, conversational, and context-aware experiences for hundreds of millions of customers worldwide. We are building new services and experiences for Alexa+ customers from the ground up, and we’re looking for an experienced, generative AI-savvy Senior Technical Program Manager to help drive them to delivery.

In this role, you will lead complex, cross-functional programs that span multiple engineering teams building Tier-1 cloud services and real-time experiences for hundreds of millions of devices and customers. You’ll turn ambiguous, large-scale technical challenges into clear roadmaps, drive execution across organizational boundaries, and ensure we deliver experiences that redefine what a personal assistant can do. You’ll operate at the intersection of engineering and product - bringing structure to greenfield initiatives and keeping fast-moving teams aligned, unblocked, and shipping.

Why You’ll Love It Here -Unprecedented program complexity: You’ll plan, lead and orchestrate initiatives at a scale and technical complexity few programs encounter - coordinating across many teams to deliver solutions for our customers. We don’t just build AI products; we use generative AI extensively in our own planning and execution practices, keeping you at the forefront of the field. -High-impact, collaborative partners: Join a team of passionate engineers and product managers who support each other, share knowledge freely, and celebrate wins together - and who value the clarity and momentum a great TPM brings. -Greenfield opportunity: We’re building from the ground up, giving you the chance to shape not just architecture and program, but the very mechanisms, processes, and delivery culture from day one. -World-changing impact: The programs you drive will directly shape how hundreds of millions of customers interact with their personal assistant every day.

Key job responsibilities -Own and drive end-to-end delivery of complex, cross-organizational technical programs - from ambiguous concept through launch and operation - including requirements, technical design, planning, risk mitigation, and stakeholder communication. -Contribute to annual and quarterly planning cycles, translating organizational strategy into actionable program plans. -Partner cross-functionally with engineering, product, and business stakeholders to align priorities, make trade-off decisions, and communicate program status to senior leadership. -Establish and improve mechanisms - status reporting, operational reviews, launch readiness, and audit metrics - that create visibility and explain variance against goals. -Drive engineering and operational excellence by embedding quality, reliability, and launch-readiness standards into program planning and execution. -Champion the use of generative AI both in the experiences we ship and in our own program and engineering practices to accelerate time to market.
