Manager, Technical Program Management, OTS Delivery Software Engineering (DSE)

Every Amazon package that ships every grocery order that is fulfilled and every locker that opens depends on technology our teams keep running. Amazons OpsTech Solutions (OTS) is the IT operations and infrastructure organization for all of Amazon Worldwide Operations including Worldwide Grocery Stores (WWGS) delivering reliable technology to more than one million associates and operators across every geography and all business miles. OTS is transforming from reactive support to proactive AI-powered service delivery. Delivery Software Engineering (DSE) owns the ServiceNow platform and the technology behind that transformation and the Technical Program Management (TPM) team is how the platform program portfolio gets delivered.

You will lead the DSE Technical Program Management team and own the delivery of its ServiceNow platform program portfolio. This is not a net-new role. You inherit an established team and an active portfolio the team already runs. You manage the people: you hire develop and set the bar. You own the portfolio: your team drives delivery across new product introduction cross-platform intake routing high-volume events product adoption platform health release management contractual compliance agentic AI delivery and voice of the customer. You hold team-level accountability for every program your TPMs run.

This is a people-management and single-threaded-ownership role. Your TPMs take product requirements defined by the Product Manager or PM-T and own delivery end to end: technical scoping cross-team coordination dependency management release sequencing risk mitigation and field rollout and adoption. You govern the hand-offs between Product Engineering and Operations and you keep the portfolio clear to those partners and to leadership. You carry platform-level strategic awareness for ServiceNow: what capabilities the platform offers what we pay for where we have implementation deficits and how contractual scope aligns with product roadmap needs. You do not need to be a ServiceNow administrator but you need to know enough about the platform to hold the boundary between what we build custom and what the platform provides natively.

Key job responsibilities
- Own people management for the DSE TPM team including hiring performance growth and promotion and hold team-level accountability for the delivery of every program the team runs.
- Define and own the teams charter operating model and goal portfolio so each program carries a named owner a metric and skip-level visibility.
- Own AI program delivery end to end including OTS MCP OTS-A and OTS-KG and coordinate agentic-workspace delivery with product partners.
- Act as single-threaded owner at the portfolio level for ambiguous cross-functional programs that span Product Engineering and Operations.
- Govern the dependency interface. Where a program depends on a product feature or an engineering deliverable manage that interface with logged needed-by dates.
- Partner with product and engineering leaders across DSE and ANCHOR to resolve service overlap drive build-versus-reuse decisions and align competing priorities without direct authority.
- Own the portfolios review and reporting standards and set adoption cost-avoidance and efficiency metrics that make program impact measurable.
- Contribute to annual planning (OP1/OP2) with clear investment and headcount proposals and run a mechanism to capture voice of the customer from internal OTS employees and operational customers.

A day in the life
Your day moves between people leadership and portfolio delivery. You run 1:1s and coaching conversations with your TPMs unblock a stalled program and step into a red program to drive a decision with the owning TPM and their engineering counterparts. You review portfolio status and dependency risk then join an architecture or prioritization discussion with Product and Engineering to set where service boundaries the afternoon you make trade-offs across competing priorities prepare the monthly Kingpin review or the ServiceNow MPR for senior leadership and draft the strategy and investment narratives that keep the portfolio funded. You build the mechanisms the RACI risk registers dashboards and review cadences so the team can scale without you in every meeting.
