IT Program Manager

The Operations Technology Solutions (OTS) Field Delivery organisation is seeking an IT Program Manager to provide program management across the service, support, and project portfolios in the UK & Ireland. This is a great opportunity for an individual looking to develop a career in IT program management within a fast-paced, operational environment.

You will have the opportunity to expand your program management capabilities and take responsibility for the governance, reporting, and continuous improvement of the UK Field Delivery portfolio. This role focuses on driving Field Delivery initiatives—supporting portfolio health, process improvement, and cross-functional coordination—rather than direct management of large-scale deployment programs.

The IT Program Manager will support planning and execution of various IT infrastructure and service initiatives across Amazon's First, Middle, and Last Mile operations. You will work with internal local teams, regional OTS leadership, and global PMO cross-functional peer groups to guide the success of programs that support company growth. The role requires effective project management skills alongside strong communication skills to coordinate team members belonging to different teams and reporting lines. We are looking for a well-organised person who will proactively look for ways to contribute to Amazon, both in portfolio management and operational support. Up to 10% travel within the UK & Ireland expected.

- Establish and measure Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for program and project performance across the UK portfolio

- Support resource demand forecasting and capacity planning for Field Delivery teams

- Proactively manage change control and communicate impact on project scope; identify risks, issues, and devise contingency plans

- Keep key partners informed of portfolio and project progress while maintaining documentation; remain committed to exceptional internal customer service

- Update or develop documentation on processes critical to successfully delivering Field Delivery initiatives
