Principal Technical Program Manager, Amazon Stores Finance Tech

Do you thrive at the intersection of technology strategy and large-scale program execution? The Amazon Stores Finance Tech Team is looking for a Principal Technical Program Manager to lead the strategic evolution of our financial analytics platforms supporting the Global Customer Fulfillment network. This role requires an AI-native mindset — using Generative AI tools and automation as a core part of how you plan, execute, and deliver.

As a Principal Technical Program Manager supporting Global Customer Fulfillment Analytics, you will own the program strategy, multi-team execution, and stakeholder alignment for data solutions delivery, Large Language Model (LLM)-powered reporting workflows, autonomous data pipelines, and scalable platform capabilities across one of Amazon's largest finance organizations. You will orchestrate the transition from legacy systems to a modern data lakehouse architecture, ensuring Finance customers have reliable, performant access to the insights they need. This means navigating interdependent tools and platforms, driving alignment across competing priorities, making high-judgment calls with incomplete information, and adapting roadmaps as new internal products evolve.

Key job responsibilities
- Own the lifecycle of large, complex multi-team technology programs from concept through delivery, defining the long-term roadmap for data solutions, analytics, and platform modernization across Worldwide Operations Finance
- Drive consensus among Tech and Finance partners on strategic roadmaps and prioritization; influence the direction of multiple engineering teams and advise senior leaders on program strategy and trade-offs
- Lead the transition from legacy financial reporting systems to a modern data lakehouse architecture with AI-powered automated workflows, managing schedules, risks, and success metrics across interdependent teams
- Champion the adoption of Generative AI tools and automation across program management workflows, establishing best practices for AI-assisted planning, execution, and reporting
- Mentor Technical Program Managers and cross-functional team members, sharing program management best practices and raising the quality of execution across the organization

A day in the life
You start your morning reviewing program metrics and dashboards to identify emerging risks. Mid-morning, you facilitate a cross-team alignment meeting where engineering leads debate technical trade-offs — your role is to guide the discussion toward a clear decision. After lunch, you draft a program update narrative for senior leadership, distilling technical progress into concrete business outcomes. Later, you connect with a partner team to negotiate a dependency timeline and unblock a critical deliverable.

We are in the middle of a multi-year platform modernization, migrating from legacy reporting systems to a lakehouse architecture augmented by Generative AI capabilities. If you want to shape how a large finance organization consumes and acts on data, this is the team to join.
