We are looking for a motivated, data-oriented self-starter to join as a Sr. Program Manager on the Delivery Service Partner (DSP) Mechanisms team!

In this role, you'll take end-to-end ownership for programs that improve safety for delivery associates and the communities they serve. We seek a leader who can set priorities, communicate effectively, and consistently deliver results across diverse cross-functional teams at massive scale. Having the ability to solve complex, technical problems with simple, innovative solutions is a key skill-set in this role. We are looking for someone who can own an end-to-end program vertical, including design/ideation, stakeholder and leadership alignment, influencing partner team roadmaps, development of KPIs, and overseeing excellent execution.

You will be successful in this role if you can manage multiple competing priorities, often with urgent deadlines, and deliver at speed while developing a long term strategy. You will need to be a proven program and project leader and communicator, with the ability to apply analytical skills to problem solving.

- Enhance our current data architecture to improve data fidelity, enable scalability, and generate useable insights.
- Manage dependencies and own status reporting for time-sensitive projects involving technical and non-technical contributors.

A day in the life
In this role, the Sr. Program Manager will lead program development and expansion to improve safety of delivery associates. You will spend time gathering feedback from your customers and diving deep into data to gain insight into complex problems. You will use these insights to develop short and long term solutions by working closely with partner teams and understanding Amazon Last Mile technology. You will write documents to gain buy-in and present to senior leadership for approval. Then, you'll develop business requirements, success metrics, and manage end-to-end delivery.
