Amazon Project Manager Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking a Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex Private Brands packaging projects for Whole Foods Market and Amazon Fresh. You will own end-to-end project management for the artwork development process for a high-volume packaging portfolio, driving cross-functional alignment across creative, regulatory, procurement, and brand teams. The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, independently manages competing priorities across multiple workstreams, and raises the bar on how packaging projects are scoped, tracked, and delivered.
This role requires the ability to influence without authority, think strategically while executing tactically, and communicate effectively with both peers and senior leadership. You will set and maintain the standard for packaging project delivery excellence across our Private Brands organization.
Key job responsibilities
• Own and drive end-to-end delivery of a complex portfolio of Private Brands packaging initiatives, ensuring strategic alignment, on-time delivery, and optimal resource allocation across the artwork development process.
• Develop and implement scalable project management methodologies and tools that improve team velocity and simplify ways of working across creative and packaging operations.
• Define and maintain intake standards and documentation requirements, ensuring project briefs are clear, complete, and actionable before entering the creative pipeline.
• Own the artwork process development lifecycle, including documentation, RACIs, and SOPs across Whole Foods Market, Amazon, and external agency partners.
• Lead strategic planning for macro-level packaging initiatives (rebrands, new brand creation, portfolio-wide refreshes) with detailed project plans, milestones, and risk mitigation strategies.
• Partner with the Creative Director and Resource Manager to forecast capacity needs and balance resource allocation across creative and project management teams.
• Support the label review and approval process, coordinating cross-functional sign-offs (regulatory, marketing, commercialization, legal, brand, quality) to maintain production timelines.
• Drive cross-functional prioritization and communicate trade-offs clearly to leadership using product lifecycle and project management tools.
• Identify and escalate risks proactively; develop contingency plans that protect critical path deliverables and print deadlines.
• Schedule, lead, and drive outcomes from weekly creative reviews, process improvement sessions, and stakeholder status meetings.
• Cultivate strategic relationships across the organization to remove blockers and accelerate delivery.
