About the role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Technical Program Manager to drive critical initiatives across the Amazon Studios' Content Value Chain (CVC) program. CVC is transforming the Studios production operations lifecycle.

In this role, you will be accountable for the overall strategy and execution of a large program with considerable impact across multiple teams within a VP organization. You will own the organizational roadmap, including OP1/OP2 contributions. You will operate independently with limited guidance, defining program mission, vision, and tenets while driving teams inside and outside your organization to deliver critical solutions.

• Build consensus among discordant views and lead resolution of contentious issues.
• Partner successfully with customers, stakeholders, and engineering teams across Studios and Prime Video.
• Create plans with clear, measurable success criteria and communicate progress and outcomes effectively.
• Proactively identify and mitigate risks before they become roadblocks.
• Make smart trade-offs between time, effort, features, and short-term vs. long-term needs.
• Streamline and eliminate excess process while creating predictable process paths.
• Drive launch readiness, risk reviews, and cross-team alignment.
• Own CPR (Critical Program Review), MBR (Monthly Business Review), and QBR (Quarterly Business Review) processes and updates for the Media Supply Chain program.
• Drive technical approaches, execution strategy, hardware launches, and software rollouts.
• Handle stakeholder and escalation management.
