Amazon Shipping Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Amazon Shipping is building Amazon's next $100B business. Emerging Programs is where new and experimental initiatives take shape, the bets we're incubating to unlock the next wave of growth. As a Sr. Program Manager, you own the programs that turn these ideas into reality.
You coordinate across Operations, Technology, Commercial, and Product teams to take emerging initiatives from incubation through delivery. One day you're standing up the operational framework for a new shipping capability with carrier partners. The next, you're designing the rollout plan for a program that didn't exist three months ago. Your work determines which experiments become funded programs and which wind down with clear learnings.
This role demands comfort with ambiguity and a bias for action when the playbook doesn't exist yet. You build execution frameworks for programs that may pivot, scale, or sunset based on what you learn. You bring operational rigor without killing the speed that early-stage bets require. You make go/no-go recommendations with incomplete data. You give leadership honest visibility into what's working and what isn't, so they can make confident funding decisions.
Key job responsibilities
- Drive emerging programs from incubation through delivery, coordinating cross-functional execution across Operations, Technology, Commercial, and Product teams
- Build execution frameworks tailored to early-stage programs where milestones shift, scope evolves, and success criteria may be redefined
- Provide leadership with clear, honest visibility into program health to enable timely go/no-go funding decisions
- Establish governance mechanisms that maintain accountability without slowing experimentation
- Coordinate operational readiness for new capabilities, working with carrier partners, compliance teams, and field operations
- Surface learnings early and systematically so programs can be scaled, pivoted, or wound down based on evidence
- Build and maintain cross-organizational partnerships that enable rapid iteration despite competing priorities
- Support quarterly planning with senior stakeholders, aligning investments across the emerging programs portfolio
