• Influence organization priorities, system owners, and technology direction through data-driven business and technical judgment
• Build consensus among senior leadership across multiple organizations, representing complex decisions, trade-offs, and potential solutions clearly

• Develop the TPM community through mentoring and performing promotion assessments

A day in the life

You will own a portfolio of strategic programs spanning multiple Prime Video VP organizations, tackling initiatives where the path forward requires your expertise to define. You will drive alignment with VPs and Directors, building consensus on technology strategies and resource allocation. You will lead architectural discussions that solve endemic problems or unlock new ML/AI-powered capabilities at scale. You will partner with science teams to validate model integration approaches and with product teams to ensure long-term customer value. You will communicate program strategy and trade-offs to leadership, create scalable mechanisms that outlast your direct involvement, and develop the next generation of TPM talent.
