A day in the life
As a Senior Programme Manager, you’ll drive and manage the implementation of
creative, data-driven change in Amazon, leading improvement projects and

programmes. You’ll use strategic thinking to define and implement an efficient

Senior Programme Managers have significant responsibilities, and you’ll deal
with complex challenges with creativity, innovation, and leadership. With a
responsibility extending beyond process improvements, you could also

contribute to improving other areas of the business, like diversity, equity, and inclusion.
