Job Description
DESCRIPTION
Are you passionate about driving change? AWS Enhanced Support Services (ES2) team is hiring a passionate, results-oriented Technical Program Manager (TPM) who will own programs to improve our critical incident management processes and technology which support the AWS Incident Detection and Response service.
As a TPM in ES2, you will lead various programs, partner with Engineers, product managers, and business leaders to define, manage, and eliminate operational inefficiencies and risks within our service. These items can manifest as process defects, tooling/product opportunities, blind spots, system bottlenecks, or capacity constraints.
The TPM will review operational outputs to prioritize actions which improve incident management capabilities and customer experience. This is accomplished by partnering with product, operations engineers/managers, and development teams to improve existing mechanisms or build new ones. You will develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives but will also be willing to roll up your sleeves, dive in, and get the job done.

The right candidate is passionate about driving mission-critical programs with an ability to take large, complex problems/projects and break them down into manageable components. The ability to navigate ambiguity, operate with high judgement and analyze ever-changing customer trends will be required. TPMs influence without authority and will be key to your success.
Everyday brings new and exciting challenges which include:
* Own and define the delivery and direction of various Incident Management and Customer Enablement programs.
* Work closely with internal stakeholders to insure that inefficiencies are well defined and measured.
* Identify trends within our operational processes and technology which may change our product’s roadmap.
* Advocate for internal stakeholders and customers by representing their voice.
* Work with key stakeholders across AWS to improve the customer experience and develop mechanisms that support operational excellence.
* Assist in the design and build of solutions that use automation, self-repair, and Generative AI rather than relying on human intervention.
* Other duties as required by the organization, including occasional out of hours support
A day in the life
A successful candidate will be highly analytical, resourceful, customer-focused, team oriented, and will have an ability to work independently under time constraints to meet deadlines. The TPM will have a proven track record in taking on end-to-end ownership and successfully delivering results in a fast-paced and dynamic business environment. The leader may have formal training and/or background in Kepner Tregoe, 5 Why’s, Six Sigma, ITIL, Agile SCRUM.
