This position focuses on the delivery of AWS services to our US Federal Civilian customers. This role requires influential, cross-functional leadership across diverse teams to solve complex problems, identify requirements, design processes, and manage timelines for programs and projects supporting US Federal customers. It involves delivering results by driving diverse teams, such as sales, capture, business operations, legal, cybersecurity, solution architects, and software development, towards a common goal. It entails regular communication with senior management on project status, business opportunities and risks.
We seek an innovative program manager who has experience in delivering solutions to the US Federal Government. To be successful in this position, the candidate must have the ability to solve complex, technical/non-technical problems with simple and practical solutions. This person must be comfortable with ambiguity and display a willingness to dive deep to uncover additional insights into such problems. A strong candidate is customer-obsessed and displays ownership and a bias for action in everything they do. The ability to effectively communicate with senior management and other departments within the organization is key to success.
Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and we host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences. Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 16 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.
Our team also puts a high value on work-life balance. Striking a healthy balance between your personal and professional life is crucial to your happiness and success here, which is why we aren’t focused on how many hours you spend at work or online. Instead, we’re happy to offer a flexible schedule so you can have a more productive and well-balanced life—both in and outside of work.
Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded professional and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.
