Sr Prg Mgr Emerging, Amazon Shipping

Amazon Shipping is building Amazons next $100B business. Emerging Programs is where new and experimental initiatives take shape the bets were incubating to unlock the next wave of growth. As a Sr. Program Manager you own the programs that turn these ideas into reality.

You coordinate across Operations Technology Commercial and Product teams to take emerging initiatives from incubation through delivery. One day youre standing up the operational framework for a new shipping capability with carrier partners. The next youre designing the rollout plan for a program that didnt exist three months ago. Your work determines which experiments become funded programs and which wind down with clear learnings.

This role demands comfort with ambiguity and a bias for action when the playbook doesnt exist yet. You build execution frameworks for programs that may pivot scale or sunset based on what you learn. You bring operational rigor without killing the speed that early-stage bets require. You make go/no-go recommendations with incomplete data. You give leadership honest visibility into whats working and what isnt so they can make confident funding decisions.
