Key job responsibilities
The AWS Infra Risk Management team is searching for a passionate and talented Technical Program Manager to lead our risk management initiatives across AWS facilities. The TPM will lead end-to-end risk management processes, from initial identification through to successful remediation. This role requires strategic thinking, technical depth, and exceptional stakeholder management skills to drive risk mitigation programs to completion.

At AWS, along with technical knowledge, we expect our leaders to interact with customers, partners and suppliers to understand our business goals and priorities, and to execute rapidly, delivering high-quality results. The candidate will be comfortable in managing remote project delivery teams, and possess the ability to facilitate technical sessions to troubleshoot issues and remove barriers to project success. The TPM will be able to build cross-functional matrix-based teams, establish trust with a variety of stakeholders across multiple time zones, manage capital budgets, eliminate unnecessary activity, design solutions, remove blockers, and find creative ways to accelerate project delivery.

The TPM will leverage their experience in risk management methodologies and technical program management to lead complex initiatives. They'll need to demonstrate expertise in risk assessment frameworks, strategic solution development, feasibility analysis, and program execution.
