The AmazonFresh Merchant Management team in the Grocery Fulfillment Tech org is seeking an experienced and innovative Sr Technical Program Manager to drive innovation in the onboarding and lifecycle management of Retail and 3P merchants. This is a unique opportunity for someone who loves working in a Day 1 environment which offers an opportunity to experiment, fail fast and scale rapidly.

We are seeking a Sr Technical Program Manager to own the relationship with large central Retail teams, and you will be responsible for scoping and delivering large projects across Amazon Fresh. Responsibilities include collection of business and systems requirements from internal and external customers, writing specifications, driving project schedules from design to release, and managing the production launch.

You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, destroy limits to scale, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities.
