Description
Ready to shape the future of global entertainment?
Join Amazon and MGM Studios Tech as we build the most technologically advanced studio in the world. The Principal Technical Program Manager is a leadership role where where you"ll set strategic technical direction and drive transformative, cross-organizational initiatives that redefine how hundreds of millions of customers worldwide experience entertainment.
What You"ll Do:
- Own and deliver ambiguous, very large, and complex programs that span multiple organizations and technology domains
- Identify risks and opportunities in technical strategies, system architectures, and engineering organizational structures
- Influence and advise VP-level leadership across Prime Video, MGM Studios, and Amazon Entertainment on technical investment decisions, organizational alignment, and long-term platform strategy
- Force-multiply across the TPM community - establish frameworks, mechanisms, and best practices that elevate the effectiveness of multiple teams and programs simultaneously
- Drive clarity in highly ambiguous environments where the business strategy, architectural approach, and even the problem definition may not yet exist
What You Bring:
- 10+ years of technical program management experience, with a demonstrated track record of delivering very large, cross-organizational programs
- Deep expertise in large-scale distributed systems, platform architecture, and the ability to evaluate and influence architectural strategies across multiple engineering organizations
- Executive-level communication and influence skills, with experience advising VP-level leaders and aligning competing priorities across organizational boundaries
- Strong business acumen with the ability to connect technical decisions to business outcomes at scale
- Expertise in delivering and operating AI-enabled solutions in production
Why This Role Matters:
As a Principal TPM, you won"t just execute programs - you"ll define which programs matter and impact how the organization delivers them. Your work will set the strategic foundation for how millions of people discover and enjoy content globally - connecting how content moves from acquisition through global distribution. This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, drives alignment across senior leaders, and delivers outsized impact through both direct contribution and force multiplication.
This role is based in Los Angeles, putting you at the intersection of Amazon"s tech innovation and MGM"s century of storytelling excellence.
Join us in building the future of entertainment!

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here
