At Amazon, we are always exploring new opportunities to shape our global business. Our Program Managers help us implement the best ideas. As you take on different responsibilities, you'll become an expert in the business, operations, and processes, and see your experience evolve. Along the way, you'll work closely with different functions across Amazon and see how working together makes us a leader in what we do.

Amazon is a data-driven business, so part of your role will involve gathering insights to make decisions. You'll trial different ideas, analyze data to identify potential challenges, and present your findings to senior teams.

The environment is fast-paced, deadline driven and you will need to be comfortable working on several initiatives at once. You have a desire to learn and experience new things, and a passion for improvements.

Key job responsibilities

The Program Manager II will have a proven track record of developing and implementing complex programs - from idea to launch - in partnership with cross-functional teams. You will own and drive initiatives to continually improve the recruiting scheduling process. You will define timelines and communicate on status, risks, and process changes. You will need to thrive and deliver results in an ambiguous, fast-paced, dynamic business environment, operating in all levels of the organization. You should be comfortable with a degree of ambiguity and fast pace and relish the idea of solving hard problems.

This position requires analytical strength, attention to detail, excellent written and verbal communication, and the ability to synthesize moving parts and drive the business forward. The role demands a strong sense of urgency, the ability to influence and make sound judgement calls, and willingness to roll up your sleeves.

About the team

As a program leader, you will partner strategically with senior leaders across Amazon"s People Experience and Technology team, representatives across Amazon"s lines of business, and internal AUTA team colleagues as the voice of the customer. You will be responsible for refining existing processes, and building new processes, that connect candidates with opportunities at Amazon. Key areas of focus include: scheduling process, reporting and technology integration.

About the Company

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

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

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
