From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Amazon is reinventing how organizations of every size buy, sell, and recover value — and Amazon India is on a fast-growing trajectory across three businesses: Amazon Business, Private Brands, and ReCommerce. That growth depends on one thing: India rapidly adopting the tools, platforms, and AI capabilities being built across the company, rather than rebuilding them. We are hiring a Seattle-based Senior Technical Program Manager to own that mission end to end.
In this high-visibility role, you will be the single owner of capability alignment between India and the global teams that build Amazon's products, spanning Amazon Business, Private Brands, and ReCommerce. Sitting at the interface between India's businesses and the teams that build the roadmaps, you will ensure India is represented when new capabilities are designed, maintain a single view of capability adoption across all three lines of business, sequence the cross-organizational dependencies , and advocate for India's priorities in
global planning.
This is a rare front-row seat; You will work hand-in-hand with the teams building Amazon's newest business models and agentic AI products — from enterprise procurement and conversational commerce to intelligent, automated operations — gaining exposure to latest technology and go-to-market approaches before they scale, and shaping how they reach one of Amazon's most important growth markets.
If you excel at influence without authority, thrive across organizational and geographic boundaries, and want a strategic mandate with executive visibility at the leading edge of Amazon's fastest-growing businesses, this role is for you.
Key job responsibilities
Own the capability-inclusion mechanism: Represent India in global product planning, requirements, and design reviews from the outset — converting today's informal, ad-hoc process into a governed, repeatable intake across all three businesses.
Run a single view of capability adoption: Maintain source of truth for the full portfolio of tracked capabilities across the three businesses, with dependency maps and effort sizing, and represent it in global planning and review forums.
Sequence cross-team dependencies: Untangle the multi-team dependency chains that cause launches to slip, coordinating across engineering, product, finance/compliance, and operations teams.
Negotiate funding and execution ownership for India-specific customization work, including the last-mile localization required to bring global capabilities to market in India.
Advocate for India's priorities in global planning, escalating structural blockers to the right leaders with clear, data-backed cases — particularly where India is deprioritized despite its strategic value.
Establish the baseline and reporting that measure adoption progress and inform how the function scales over time.
Partner deeply with the teams building Amazon's newest products and business models, ensuring India's needs are reflected early and that new capabilities reach the market efficiently.
A day in the life
You start your morning with AI as your co-pilot — using Amazon's internal generative-AI tools to scan overnight changes across the global product roadmaps for all three businesses, summarize what moved, and surface the handful of new capabilities where India isn't yet in the design conversation. What used to take an analyst days, you triage before your first meeting.
Mid-morning, you join a working session with a product team building one of Amazon's newest AI-powered capabilities, aligning India into their next release so the market isn't left to catch up later. You then prepare for the executive review you own — a recurring leadership forum where you present the single view of capability adoption across the three businesses, call out risks and dependencies, and drive decisions with senior leaders on what India needs and when.
In the afternoon, you unblock a stalled dependency: a global capability that needs a market-specific compliance change before India can adopt it. You get the owning teams and India's tech lead aligned on sequencing and funding, turning a multi-quarter stall into a committed plan. Alongside the day-to-day, you're steering the India launch of a multi-million-dollar product — coordinating engineering, finance, and operations across two continents to bring a capability to one of Amazon's most important growth markets.
You close the day the way you opened it — with AI doing the heavy lifting: drafting an escalation, modeling a dependency sequence, and building the data-backed case for why a high-value capability should reach India sooner. You are not just adopting Amazon's AI tools; you are living at the frontier of how they change the way work gets done.
