Senior Technical Program Manager

ABOUT THIS ROLE

Senior Technical Program Managers (TPMs) are Audible’s relay sprinters, taking projects over the finish line like a champion from concept to launch. As a Senior TPM, you’ll be responsible for the relationship and integration of multiple orgs within Audible and Amazon products. This team designs and builds architectures for products that deliver Audible content to users in all sorts of new application domains using back-end services as well as our content on end-user devices and platforms such as iOS, Android, and Web. The team we’re specifically hiring for focuses on tapping the unrealized opportunity landscape, where the Audible listening experience still remains unknown to many of our potential customers. We need your help to lead and manage projects and processes that will help bring more customers to Audible. We're a part of Amazon, they are our parent company and it's a great partnership. You'll get to play with all of Amazon's technologies like EC2, SQS, S3 etc. There's a LOT to learn!

ABOUT YOU

You thrive at the heart of the action. At work, change is the only constant – and you wouldn’t have it any other way. Transparency and consistency define your communication skills. You see the bigger picture, letting it guide you, from project risks to retrospectives. “Meticulous” doesn’t do justice to your critical eye. You’re looking for the balance of an energizing start-up culture with the influence of a global e-commerce leader.

As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will…

• Play a leading role in running the delivery of large cross functional projects spanning teams and divisions in Audible and outside of Audible (Amazon teams)
• Collaborate to define core business objectives in order to deliver the best product, program or project with the most efficient use of company resources
• Work with cross functional teams – technology, business and operations to lead multiple projects that have conflicting needs / priorities, from concept to launch
• Work with technical astuteness, be detailed oriented and proactive in seeking opens in the projects and drive subsequent closure
• Communicate project risks, progress, launches and retrospectives across all stakeholders and teams – consistently and transparently
• Strive constantly to improve and establish a new bar in performance (using objective metrics) in project execution
