Amazon Prime Air is developing a drone delivery system designed to safely deliver packages to customers in under an hour. We are seeking a Program Manager to serve as the operational lead supporting Prime Air's Regulatory and International organizations. In this role, you will own the rhythm of business for a Director-level organization driving the cadence of business reviews, managing cross-functional schedules, and ensuring leadership has the right information at the right time to make decisions. You will continuously inspect and improve the mechanisms that keep the business running as Prime Air scales globally.

Key job responsibilities
