Sr.Technical Program Manager, Identity

Identity Services owns the systems that enable authenticating and identifying every Amazon customer in the world. Every aspect of the Amazon global business depends on our systems to know who the customer is, and if our systems are not up and running, the company stops. We balance keeping our systems fast, scalable and performant (no exceptions!) with rapidly delivering great features for Amazon customers and our developer partners. In short, we get to own and innovate on a critical customer experience while also supporting nearly every other business at the company; the best of both worlds
We are looking for a motivated Technical Program Manager with the desire and talent to contribute to our vision. As a Sr Technical Manager of the Identity team, you will take the Authentication charter to next level.
This role is cross-functional and requires a strong ability to think big and influence teams across Amazon. You should be comfortable dealing with ambiguity and display high levels of bias for action and ownership. You will be required to understand the different use cases, work with engineering teams to find and fine tune the solutions, work with senior management to evangelize and drive adoption and share reports with executives.
You must possess strong verbal and written communication skills, be self-driven and deliver high quality results in a fast-paced environment. We're looking for people who are smart and can get things done. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, know how to deliver, are innovative, and long for the opportunity to build solutions to challenging problems in Identity, then we want you as a Sr. Technical Manager for Amazon's eCommerce Platform Identity Services group.
