What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sr. Program Manager, AMZL ORBIT PMO position at Amazon?
AMZL ORBIT PMO is looking for a highly proficient and motivated Program Manager to own and scale our Network of Operations program portfolio, driving OP1/OP2 planning, business review governance, and seasonal readiness across NA Last Mile. The Program Manager will lead the operating rhythm that keeps our Network organization aligned - from calendar management for annual operating plans, to change management governance, to the automation of business review dashboards and compliance verification. This role will partner closely with cross-functional stakeholders across Last Mile Tech, Fleet, Safety, ACES, and Finance to build the frameworks, tools, and standards that make our review cadence predictable, transparent, and increasingly self-service through automation.
The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, comfortable operating in ambiguity, and energized by turning manual, recurring processes into scalable systems
They bring strong program management fundamentals, are highly effective communicators to senior stakeholders, and have a bias for using data and automation to eliminate toil. As a member of the ORBIT PMO team, you will help set the standard for how Network of Operations plans, reviews, and improves its business - and you'll do it while championing the Transporter Experience in every program decision.
Key job responsibilities
- Own end-to-end management of the OP1/OP2 operating plan calendar for Network of Operations, coordinating cross-functional deadlines, milestones, and leadership review checkpoints
- Drive ORBIT Change Management (BEAM) governance - processing change requests, tracking completion rates against target, and ensuring changes are documented and communicated to stakeholders
- Lead Page 0 Automation and PMO Dashboard management, partnering with Business Intelligence Engineers to build and maintain metrics that measure performance across Network of Operations
- Facilitate Weekly and Daily Business Reviews (WBR/DBR), including action item tracking, deep-dive analysis, and driving accountability to 95% completion rates within a 48-hour follow-up standard
- Own Business Review Auto-Flagging & Compliance Verification, building repeatable mechanisms that surface risks and exceptions to leadership without manual review
- Maintain the Wiki of Standards and SOPs, ensuring documentation stays current and serves as the single source of truth for Network of Operations program processes
- Identify opportunities to automate manual, recurring PMO processes and partner with engineering/BIE resources to build lasting solutions
- Set and embody strong team culture and standards consistent with Amazon's Leadership Principles
A day in the life
On a typical day, the Program Manager might start by reviewing overnight action item status from the prior day's DBR, flagging any items approaching the 48-hour follow-up threshold and following up directly with owners. Mid-morning could involve a working session with a Business Intelligence Engineer to refine a Page 0 automation rule, followed by an update to the OP1 calendar to reflect a shifted leadership review date
In the afternoon, they might facilitate a WBR, capture action items and owners in real time, and then spend focused time drafting or updating a section of the seasonal readiness document ahead of an upcoming leadership review. Throughout the week, they'll balance recurring operating rhythm work (BEAM change processing, compliance flagging, wiki maintenance) with project-based work tied to seasonal peaks - such as compiling lessons learned after a high volume event or standing up a new automation to reduce manual prep time.
