    Job Description

    Amazon LEO is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO).

Amazon LEO will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity.

    The Amazon LEO team is looking for a Sr. Technical Program Manager with experience in driving global expansion of products/business units. The role will interface with cross-functional product, business, and engineering teams to develop robust solutions to expand to new geographies that will go into satellites and ground equipment/terminals. Join us and make a difference in the lives of people around the world.

    Key job responsibilities

    In this role you will:

    • Collaborate with engineering leaders both within Leo and across Amazon to create project execution plans for international expansion.
    • Work with business, legal, accounting, and go-to-market teams to develop clear test and readiness criteria and plans.
    • Work with engineering and product/program management to track and report launch status.
    • Drive engineering project execution, make technical trade-off recommendations, understand the technical challenges, enable solutions, track and report on status, and resolve blocking issues.
    • Own visibility into launch status by proactively communicating progress, risks, and blockers to key stakeholders and leadership.
    • Export Control Requirement *

    Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

    A day in the life

    As a Sr. TPM on the Country Expansion team, your day is a blend of technical problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration. You"ll work with engineering, legal, and business teams across geographies to define requirements, resolve blockers, and drive decisions that determine whether a new country launches on time. From reviewing country-specific technical solutions to aligning on shared capabilities that accelerate future expansions, every decision you make today builds the foundation for customers in new geographies to seamlessly discover, buy, and receive products.

    About the team

    The Country Expansion team is at the forefront of bringing Amazon Leo"s e-commerce experience to customers in new geographies. We tackle some of the most complex and rewarding challenges in the company - navigating country-specific regulatory requirements, building shared capabilities that scale across geographies, and partnering with teams across engineering, legal, finance, and operations to make every launch a success. If you"re energized by ambiguity, thrive at the intersection of technical depth and strategic thinking, and want your work to directly shape how millions of new customers experience Amazon Leo for the first time, this is the team for you.

    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.
