Sr. Program Manager, Amazon Relay

At Amazon, our vision is to become the most customer-centric company on earth. Achieving this goal requires ensuring we continue to work with carriers who are good actors and share this same vision. A key way we accomplish this is through rigorous business intelligence, operational deep dives, and data-driven accountability that enables our teams to deliver flawless execution at scale.

The Relay Central team in Transportation and Technology Services (TTS) is constantly innovating new ways to build scalable solutions that serve millions of customers every day. We hold high standards for our programs and the services we deliver: Our reporting systems are highly accurate, our insights are actionable, and our processes drive measurable outcomes, all while functioning at massive scale and delivering industry-leading operational performance. Our team is passionate about operational excellence and also fun to work with.

You will lead a high-visibility program responsible for business reporting, operational deep dives, and cross-organizational accountability for one of Amazon's most critical transportation networks. In this role, you will own the end-to-end reporting framework that surfaces key insights to Director and VP-level audiences, driving strategic decisions that impact billions of dollars in transportation spend. You will conduct rigorous root cause analyses to identify failure modes, translating complex findings into clear, actionable narratives. You will investigate carrier feedback at scale, synthesizing signals and routing prioritized insights to the appropriate product and engineering teams to drive systemic improvements.

You will be the connective tissue between operations, product, engineering, and senior leadership, bridging technical depth with executive-level storytelling. You will own business goal tracking for the organization, building mechanisms that ensure accountability across multiple teams and organizations for issue resolution and action item closure. You should be able to apply a breadth of tools, data sources, and analytical techniques to answer a wide range of high-impact business questions and proactively present new insights in a concise and effective manner.

The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, can context-switch between a deep technical investigation and an executive-ready narrative within the same day, and has a bias for action when it comes to closing gaps. You will work directly with partners across product management, engineering, data science, and operations to ensure our reporting infrastructure is robust, our metrics are trustworthy, and our leadership has the information they need to make both high-quality and high-velocity decisions.

• Partner across product and engineering teams to apply new technologies, automation, and tooling to improve reporting infrastructure and operational efficiency

A day in the life
On any given day, you might start by investigating an anomaly that resulted in a customer promise miss, tracing it through reporting logic and tech systems to identify the root cause. By mid-morning, you're synthesizing carrier feedback into a concise brief for the Operations and Product team, then pivoting to prepare a business review narrative for senior leadership (Director/VP). Afternoons could involve driving accountability in a cross-functional stand-up with operations, program management, and product managers, tracking action items to closure, or building the weekly operational readout that keeps our organization aligned. Your internal stakeholders span Product, Engineering, Program Management, and Operations Supply Chain leadership. Your customers are the senior leaders who depend on accurate, timely insights to make high-quality decisions, and the product, program, and operations teams who rely on your investigations to prioritize the right problems.
