Amazon LEO is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO).

The Amazon LEO team is looking for a Sr. Technical Program Manager with experience in driving global expansion of products/business units.

Join us and make a difference in the lives of people around the world.

- Collaborate with engineering leaders both within Leo and across Amazon to create project execution plans for international expansion.
- Work with business, legal, accounting, and go-to-market teams to develop clear test and readiness criteria and plans.
- Work with engineering and product/program management to track and report launch status.
- Drive engineering project execution, make technical trade-off recommendations, understand the technical challenges, enable solutions, track and report on status, and resolve blocking issues.
- Own visibility into launch status by proactively communicating progress, risks, and blockers to key stakeholders and leadership.

A day in the life
As a Sr. TPM on the Country Expansion team, your day is a blend of technical problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration.
