Head of Creative Program Management, Amazon Devices Brand Studio

The brand creative studio within Amazon Devices & Services" Growth and Execution Organization (GXO) at Amazon is seeking a Sr. Manager, Creative Program Management to set the vision for our creative program management practice and scale its impact across the organization, spanning our global product launches, events, and integrated marketing campaigns. This is a senior leadership role for a deep expert in the discipline. You will lead a high-impact team with a strategically important charter, and you will be recognized across the organization as the definitive authority on how creative program management is done and how it should evolve - including how AI reshapes the way the practice works.

You will own and define the strategy for the practice, design the workflows, mechanisms and standards that the broader creative organization adopts, and operate where the problem and the path are not yet defined. You will be a trusted partner to senior stakeholders and creative partners, translating ambiguous business goals into structured creative programs and setting a vision that connects brand strategy to how it comes to life for the customer.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned creative program management leader who is the deepest expert in the room and uses that expertise and high judgment to shape strategy, not just execution. You lead a team while personally setting the bar for the craft, and you influence far beyond your team by teaching, writing, and defining the standards others follow. You bring advanced AI proficiency and a strong appetite for AI adoption, leading your team to build its own program and project management tools and to apply AI across all aspects of the work. You are comfortable making two-way-door decisions with independence, distilling diverse inputs from stakeholders across the organization into a clear set of priorities, and driving consensus on where the practice goes next. You are a true owner who raises the bar, manages expectations with senior partners, embraces ambiguity, and has a positive impact on team culture.
