    Job Description

    We are seeking an experienced Senior Program Manager to lead change management across our global organization. In this role, you will own how ACT communicates, implements, and operationalizes change across functions and geographies in a fast-paced, dynamic trade environment. You will develop frameworks that ensure operational changes are adopted consistently, drive standardization of procedures, and serve as the connective tissue between policy, operations, and technology teams. This is a high-visibility role requiring strong communication skills, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to influence without positional authority across a distributed organization.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Develop and implement comprehensive change management frameworks spanning ACT"s global operations, ensuring consistent adoption of new processes, policies, and tools
    • Drive standardization of operational procedures; partner with operations, finance, data, and product teams to build repeatable and predictable structures in areas of ambiguity
    • Centralize communication and inform stakeholders and operations teams across geographies of operational and regulatory changes; prevent siloed work streams
    • Link policies, standard operating procedures, internal controls, monitoring, and reporting with operational and compliance improvement
    • Develop and execute customs strategy initiatives, working cross-functionally to identify key areas of opportunity for process optimization and automation
    • Create and iterate upon metrics to measure change adoption, performance, and identify defects and trends
    • Identify and implement mechanisms and solutions for continuous improvement
    • Work collaboratively with technology, product management, legal, human resources, business intelligence, and other key stakeholder groups
    • Provide regular reporting and insights to senior leadership on change readiness, adoption, and risk posture

    A day in the life

    Your day might begin by reviewing active change initiatives across ACT"s global operations and syncing with operations leads on adoption progress. You"ll lead cross-functional working sessions with product, legal, and compliance partners to align on communication strategy for regulatory or process changes. You"ll coordinate with regional teams across time zones, review metrics dashboards tracking adoption and quality, and prepare materials for leadership reviews. Throughout the day, you connect the dots between what"s changing and how the organization absorbs it.

    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.
