• Influence organization priorities, system owners, and technology direction through data-driven business and technical judgment
• Build consensus among senior leadership across multiple organizations, representing complex decisions, trade-offs, and potential solutions clearly

You will communicate program strategy and trade-offs to leadership, create scalable mechanisms that outlast your direct involvement, and develop the next generation of TPM talent.

About the team

The Cross Functional Central Program Team is not embedded within any single organization. We operate across Prime Video"s VP organizations, owning high-visibility, high-profile, ambiguous, complex, and critical initiatives. We drive Prime Video central mechanisms including Operational Planning and AI Adoption. We manage upwards and downwards, removing roadblocks to accelerate delivery. We think broadly and obsess over Amazon Leadership Principles, particularly Deliver Results, Ownership, Bias for Action, Invent and Simplify, Disagree and Commit, and Earn Trust. If you thrive in ambiguity and want to shape how Prime Video delivers at scale, this team is for you.
