Principal Technical Program Manager, Secure Work Enablement
Seattle, WA - USA
Job Summary
Amazon WorkSpaces has protected and empowered enterprise work for over a decade. Now we are reimagining what a workspace is. We are building Agentic WorkSpaces: a platform where the workspace itself is an active partner in how you work not just infrastructure that delivers applications.
Today over one million users rely on WorkSpaces daily. Tomorrow those workspaces will host AI agents alongside humans agents that code troubleshoot analyze and act on behalf of their users governed by the same identity and security policies as the people they serve. We are building the platform that makes this possible: a new identity architecture that treats humans and agents as first-class citizens a unified cross-platform agent that ships features to Windows and Linux simultaneously a next-generation client (Springboard) that communicates intelligently with users and AI-powered admin experiences that replace 300 configuration choices with a single conversation.
This is not incremental. We are rethinking the desktop from the silicon up from GPU-powered workstations for builders and AI workloads to conversational setup experiences to autonomous troubleshooting that resolves issues before users notice them. We compete with Microsoft Citrix and Omnissa and we intend to leapfrog them by building the workspace that was designed for the agentic era not retrofitted for it.
The Role
We are looking for a Principal Technical Program Manager who wants to be the connective tissue of this transformation. This is a cross-functional IC role at the center of everything we ship. You will own end-to-end program execution across the Agentic WorkSpaces portfolio driving delivery across 6 engineering teams 3 platform dependencies 19 production regions and multiple partner motions. You will operate at the intersection of engineering product and GTM translating bold product vision into sequenced milestones that land on time and at quality.
You are self-driven comfortable with ambiguity and biased toward action. You think big about what the workspace of the future looks like and then you build the plan to get there. You influence across Amazon without authority make hard trade-off decisions with incomplete information and turn Won into Done. You want to solve challenging problems in identity AI and desktop infrastructure at a scale that matters.

Ensure security and identity objectives are met without imposing a performance tax on agent workflows.
Establish metrics mechanisms and reporting cadences that give leadership confidence in delivery health. From weekly execution reviews to S-Team goal reporting you build the operating rhythm that keeps a complex organization aligned.
Manage launch coordination for multi-region multi-platform releases across 6 OS variants. Ensure features ship simultaneously across Windows and Linux via the unified agent architecture no more Windows first Linux later.
