Seattle, WA, USA
Description
Amazon Customer Service (CS) is transforming how we deliver support to customers - evolving from manual, reactive operations to an intelligent, AI-native service experience that anticipates customer needs and continuously improves. To execute this transformation, we need to ensure our cloud infrastructure investments are optimized, efficient, and aligned with the future we are building.
We are seeking a Sr. Technical Program Manager to own AWS Service usage and budget optimization for Amazon Customer Service. In this role, you will operate as a joint partner with Finance to drive sustained cloud infrastructure efficiency outcomes. While Finance provides financial targets, variance analysis, and controllership mechanisms, you will bring the technical expertise to assess fleet efficiency, validate capacity assumptions, investigate cost drivers, and drive optimization execution across CS's AWS infrastructure portfolio.
You will own three critical pillars: Planning - consolidating fleet inputs, validating capacity assumptions, and ensuring plans reflect what teams are building; Technical Expertise - answering technical questions related to products and usage metrics, investigating Generative AI (Gen AI) adoption, usage efficiency, and cost drivers; and Optimization Execution - evaluating efficiency recommendations, coordinating with engineering teams, and driving execution. You will also represent CS by engaging with peer teams across Amazon to share and bring back best practices.
This role requires someone who can blend deep technical understanding of cloud infrastructure with business acumen and programmatic rigor. You will operate in ambiguity, influence cross-functional stakeholders across engineering, finance, and planning, and communicate effectively from engineers through senior leadership.
