Sr Technical Program Manager, ICON (Intelligent Cloud Hosting)

The ICON (Intelligent Cloud Hosting) team hosts Amazon websites and back-end platform services that power Amazon's customer experience. We abstract and centralize the infrastructure management from service teams, bring agility to business processes, evaluate and mitigate business risks and incubate operational best practices while implementing them on behalf of our customers. ICON is an early adopter of Amazon's infrastructure product offerings and automates the infrastructure management and operational activities on behalf of developers to strengthen services' posture towards security, availability, efficiency, compliance and maintainability so that service engineers can innovate on behalf of Amazon's end customers. We are building smart, automated operations systems that enable organizations in SDO to accelerate innovating in the Cloud.
As the Technical Program Manager of ICON, you will partner closely with SDO service engineering leadership and business owners to ensure alignment with their needs, requirements, roadmap, and overall strategy. You will drive deliverables related to increasing the value of ICON assets, developing and optimizing ICON service offerings, and determining growth strategies for increased impact. You will develop the communication and engagement mechanisms necessary to ensure our customers have a clear view into our monthly business reviews, product roadmaps, team dashboards, and the multiple engagement mechanisms for leveraging ICON service offerings. You will identify gaps in current processes across the team for engagement and communications and provide recommendations and solutions to be implemented to enable our organization to continuously improve.
