Principal Technical Program Manager, Amazon MGM Studios Tech

About the role

Join Amazon and MGM Studios Tech as we build the most technologically advanced studio in the world. The Principal Technical Program Manager is a leadership role where you'll set strategic technical direction and drive transformative, cross-organizational initiatives that redefine how hundreds of millions of customers worldwide experience entertainment.

What You'll Do

• Own and deliver ambiguous, very large, and complex programs that span multiple organizations and technology domains
• Identify risks and opportunities in technical strategies, system architectures, and engineering organizational structures
• Influence and advise VP-level leadership across Prime Video, MGM Studios, and Amazon Entertainment on technical investment decisions, organizational alignment, and long-term platform strategy
• Force-multiply across the TPM community — establish frameworks, mechanisms, and best practices that elevate the effectiveness of multiple teams and programs simultaneously
• Drive clarity in highly ambiguous environments where the business strategy, architectural approach, and even the problem definition may not yet exist

What You Bring

• 10+ years of technical program management experience, with a demonstrated track record of delivering very large, cross-organizational programs
• Deep expertise in large-scale distributed systems, platform architecture, and the ability to evaluate and influence architectural strategies across multiple engineering organizations
• Executive-level communication and influence skills, with experience advising VP-level leaders and aligning competing priorities across organizational boundaries
• Strong business acumen with the ability to connect technical decisions to business outcomes at scale
• Expertise in delivering and operating AI-enabled solutions in production

Why This Role Matters

As a Principal TPM, you won't just execute programs — you'll define which programs matter and impact how the organization delivers them. Your work will set the strategic foundation for how millions of people discover and enjoy content globally — connecting how content moves from acquisition through global distribution. This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, drives alignment across senior leaders, and delivers outsized impact through both direct contribution and force multiplication.
