Amazon Sr. Program Manager, Flex Service Level Standards (SLS), Flex in Bellevue, Washington
Description
At Amazon, we're looking for a Sr. Program Manager for Amazon Flex. Amazon Flex works directly with independent contractors – called delivery partners – to make deliveries to our customers. With Amazon Flex, individuals can now be their own boss delivering Amazon packages. Amazon Flex is powered by a mobile app that works in concert with our advanced logistics systems that allows delivery partners to on-board, schedule delivery times, guide them through their deliveries with in-app mapping and navigation, and more.
The Sr. Program Manager will be responsible for establishing scalable mechanisms to lead delivery partner anecdote inquiries from start to finish. You will relentlessly focus on continuous improvement, diving deep into issues to uncover the root cause and systematically escalate to fix underlying defects to prevent the recurrence of a similar escalation globally. This opportunity requires excellent troubleshooting, root cause identification, problem-solving, analytical approach and logical reasoning, succinct narrative writing and the ability to succeed in a fast-paced environment. An ideal candidate for this role should have proven expertise collaborating cross-functionally, building scalable mechanisms and communicating to senior stakeholders, including Legal, Directors and VPs.
Key job responsibilities

Development of the overall program strategy and scalable mechanisms, tactically driving teams in and outside of your organization to deliver.
Define the program (mission, vision, tenets), set objectives, analyze data and drive improvements that are quantified with metrics.
Identify root causes and recognize trends through customer and delivery partner contacts in order to solve ambiguous problems and proactively mitigate risk (before they become roadblocks).

Partner with teams across the business you support and beyond to source, allocate, and coordinate resources.
Partner with customers, internal/external teams, and engineering teams to determine what projects move forward and in what priority order.
Oversee gaps between teams, processes and systems, helping teams reduce exposure to classic failure modes (e.g., requirements not sufficiently understood or documented, ineffective cross-team collaboration, long-term impact(s) from third-party solutions, security not considered, insufficient stakeholder review, etc.).
Work with program managers, business leaders and executive team to communicate and impact critical business initiatives.
Develop, implement, and govern KPI reporting for a portfolio of programs, providing visibility to the milestones, and performance across all projects.
Engage other Amazon business units globally to share best practices and improve end to end outcomes for Amazon customers.
