Amazon.com is seeking a Technical Program Manager to join our Amazon Financial Foundation Services (AFFS), a division within Amazon’s eCommerce Foundation Organization (eCF)!

In this role, you will be the driving force that collaborates with financial business partners and technical teams around the globe to deliver world class solutions that are highly scalable, secure, and flexible - all while maintaining a strong customer focus.

You will also be the face and voice for the project teams you work with. You will ensure that all stakeholders are aware of outstanding issues and project status. You will tailor your communications to specific audiences as well as communicate clearly and concisely to both business and technical audiences.

Finally, as a member of the TPM team you will take an active role in our focus on continuous improvement. We are always on the lookout for ways to improve our software development lifecycle (SDLC) as well as increasing the quality of our product and overall efficiency of our processes.

You must be able to:

• Communicate project issues and status in a concise, accurate, and professional manner

• Apply best practices to the software development lifecycle for projects based on experiences with a number of agile and blended approaches, as well effectively coordinating the implementations across teams using very different approaches.

• Build and maintain integrated project schedules that account for internal/external dependencies, differing SDLC approaches, numerous constraints, and adequately factors in some contingency for some unplanned delays while still be aggressive.

• Remain flexible to changing priorities, open to new ideas and have Amazons success firmly in your focus
