    Job Description

    Amazon Shopping Videos (ASV) is a fast-growing business focused on enabling customers to find inspiration, information, entertainment, and community through video content at any point in their shopping journey. We are seeking a Senior Program Manager to own the end-to-end go-to-market (GTM) planning and launch coordination for our Live Self-Service (LSS) program. This technically-oriented role serves as the primary liaison between the LSS business team, Amazon Ads PMM and Sales GTM, and product/engineering organizations to ensure tight alignment between what we build and how we bring it to market.

    The ideal candidate is a builder of mechanisms - someone who can establish repeatable intake processes, create visibility frameworks that keep stakeholders informed, and drive cross-functional coordination across product, engineering, marketing, and sales teams. This role requires technical fluency and the ability to build trusted relationships within the Ads organization to drive deeper integration of LSS into the broader Ads organization. You will own the GTM calendar, establish the cadence and mechanisms for product-to-market handoffs, and ensure that every launch is coordinated, tracked, and communicated effectively.

    This is a high-visibility role that requires strong cross-functional influence, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to drive clarity in a fast-moving environment. You will work closely with Directors and VPs across multiple organizations, translate complex technical roadmaps into actionable GTM plans, and build the connective tissue between teams that enables LSS to scale.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own the full GTM planning calendar for LSS, coordinating feature launches, product releases, and market rollouts across all stakeholder teams
    • Establish and manage the product GTM intake process - defining how new features, capabilities, and integrations are surfaced, prioritized, and tracked through the GTM pipeline
    • Drive launch coordination between product/engineering and marketing/sales GTM teams, ensuring clear handoffs, launch readiness criteria, and aligned timelines
    • Build and maintain mechanisms for surfacing program status, milestones, risks, and updates to leadership and cross-functional stakeholders (e.g., program reviews, dashboards, status reports, narratives)
    • Build and deepen relationships within the Ads organization to advocate for LSS integration opportunities, remove blockers, and accelerate delivery of shared priorities
    • Partner with product and engineering teams to understand technical roadmaps, identify dependencies, assess risks, and drive alignment on timelines and deliverables
    • Drive cross-functional alignment through regular cadences, written communications (narratives, status reports, program documents), and stakeholder reviews
    • Identify and eliminate operational inefficiencies, reduce dependencies, and simplify workflows to accelerate speed of delivery
    • Use data and metrics to drive decision-making, track program health, and proactively surface risks before they become blockers

    A day in the life

    You start your morning reviewing the GTM calendar and triaging new feature intake requests from product teams. Mid-morning, you join a cross-functional sync with engineering and Ads PMM to align on an upcoming launch timeline. After lunch, you draft a status narrative for leadership, surfacing risks and milestones across active workstreams. In the afternoon, you meet with Ads Sales GTM partners to ensure launch readiness criteria are met, then close the day updating your program dashboard and unblocking a dependency with a partner engineering team.

    About Company

    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.
