About the role

Amazon Foundational Security Services (AFSS) is seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager to lead strategic initiatives that directly impact every Amazon employee and agent's ability to do their jobs effectively while protecting customer data and intellectual property. In this high-visibility leadership role, you'll drive security outcomes across all of Amazon by partnering with technical teams and stakeholders to balance productivity, access, and risk.

This is your opportunity to influence security strategy at unprecedented scale while enabling the business to move faster.

Key job responsibilities

• Proactively identify risks, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement in identity provision, protection, and access management systems, initiating deep dives and working sessions to mitigate complexity.
• Develop and promote program management best practices and scalable mechanisms that enable teams to work independently while advancing organizational security goals.
