Senior Technical Program Manager, Procurement Lifecycle

Procurement Lifecycle owns the software systems that generate purchase orders to procure hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of retail inventory each year. It's important that we reliably create, store, update, and convey purchase orders to thousands of vendors, helping to ensure that Amazon will have the products in stock that our customers want and love.

As the team's Technical Program Manager III, you will own the development of Inbound Instructions: a complex, multi-organization initiative to change how Amazon orders and merchandises retail inventory. Inbound Instructions will drive $1.9B in incremental GMS while simplifying purchase order processing and inbound operations. In the longer term, you will analyze current software systems, "look around corners" and anticipate future customer needs, and develop and execute a multi-year plan to improve the architecture, capabilities, performance, and efficiency of Inbound Instructions and other sourcing and operational systems.

In your role, you will collaborate with engineering managers, senior engineers, and senior product managers across Amazon Stores teams to drive the rollout of Inbound Instructions, manage 1–3-year roadmaps, and produce results. As part of Amazon's annual planning process (OP1/OP2), you will contribute to the development of technical and business goals. You will be accountable for the development lifecycle process, ensuring that deliverables and goals are met, while also contributing to the daily operational needs of the business.

You should be comfortable designing high-level architecture for software systems, but also be able to deep dive into low-level details. You should be able to suggest and carry out practical actions to deal with urgent issues while also managing the design and implementation of highly available, high-throughput software systems to address the long-term needs of the business. To excel in this role, it is also necessary to have strong written and verbal communication skills, business acumen, and an ability to effectively communicate customer and product requirements. As the owner of critical systems that impact a broad audience, you will need to be able to drive alignment among internal stakeholders who often have conflicting requirements or priorities.

Ready to own the engine that will force-multiply Amazon's access to inventory supply? Step into a role where your decisions ripple across the global supply chain, drive $1.9B in new sales, and shape how the world's most customer-obsessed company sources the products its customers love.
