Sr. Technical Program Manager, Alexa Shopping

    Job Description

    Alexa Shopping is building toward a world where a customer communicates the intent and we handle the rest - understanding what they meant, finding the right product, and surfacing it at the right moment. We are turning conversation into commerce: agentic AI experiences that let millions of customers capture what they need, organize it, and act on it through Alexa.

    We"re looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive the programs that make this real. You"ll sit at the center of a fast-moving effort that spans LLM-powered content understanding, real-time inference, multimodal experiences, and autonomous actions that shop on the customer"s behalf. You will own shipping across all Alexa endpoints ranging from Echo dot devices to Echo Show to 3P Smartphones and new device formats. This is a builder"s TPM role: high visibility, direct customer impact, and the mandate to shape the world of agentic shopping.

    If you are looking for an opportunity to blend the agentic capabilities in to the world of shopping and ubiquitous computing, this is the place to be.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own the roadmap and delivery for major Alexa Shopping programs end-to-end - from ambiguous problem to shipped experience across multiple form factors and 15+ locales.
    • Drive cross-functional execution across engineering, applied science, product, and partner orgs, turning a shared vision into sequenced, measurable delivery.
    • Bring clarity to complexity: define scope, surface dependencies and risks early, and keep a fast-moving team aligned and unblocked.
    • Establish and own the mechanisms - planning, status, launch readiness, metrics that let the team ship frequently without losing sight of quality or the customer.
    • Translate between technical and business audiences, and represent the program crisply to leadership.
    • Use data to make the call on trade-offs (scope, latency, accuracy, timing) and to know when a bet is paying off.

    A day in the life

    You"ll spend your time removing ambiguity and unblocking delivery. On any given day you will align your program teams across product, engineering and applied science on a launch plan, drive a design or readiness review, resolve a cross-org dependency, or reframe a roadmap around what the data is telling you.

    You"ll work closely with product managers, engineers, and scientists on approach, keep the program moving, and watch features reach customers quickly. You"ll own the mechanisms that keep a small, ambitious team shipping fast.

    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.
