We are looking for an experienced Technical Program Manager to tackle complex and ambiguous problems that span numerous systems and organizations across AMG's portfolio. You will be a highly visible leader who owns the communication, coordination, and execution of multi-year program vision across AWS Organizations, Accounts, and Control Tower.
You will work with senior product and engineering leaders to define strategy and requirements. You will design, coordinate, and execute technical solutions that scale globally across AWS's multi-account and governance ecosystem. Managing numerous complex systems and cross-service integrations, you will make appropriate trade-offs between business and technical constraints, clearly communicate goals, roles, and responsibilities. Working cross-functionally, you will identify and secure commitment from tech teams across AWS for new initiatives, driving consensus on the technical approach.
The ideal candidate will have a well-rounded technical background and a history of leading large programs end-to-end. They will own efforts to coordinate and unify roadmaps and technical direction across multiple complex governance and account management systems. They will identify opportunities to converge overlapping technical efforts and drive long-term strategy across AMG's three pillars. Maturity, high-level judgment, negotiation skills, ability to influence, analytical talent, and leadership are essential to success.
If you're looking for a chance to shape how every AWS customer — from startups to the largest enterprises — secures and governs their cloud environment; if you want to work at the intersection of security, policy management, and large-scale distributed systems; if you're excited about AI-native operations and how agents can transform the developer experience for cloud governance — then this is the role for you. Come work with our team of engineers, product managers, and technical leaders building the foundational layer of AWS.

About the team
AWS Accounts Management & Governance (AMG) provides the foundation for how customers set up, secure, and scale their AWS environments. AWS Accounts offers a fast, simple entry point to the cloud. AWS Organizations delivers consistent governance and security across accounts at any scale. AWS Control Tower enforces best practices through an automated, opinionated landing zone from day one.
Together, these services help customers securely govern and manage their multi-account environments — growing with confidence that their infrastructure is secure by default and fully aligned with their security and compliance requirements. For internal AWS services, AMG provides the core primitives that enable multi-account and multi-organization service delivery across the AWS ecosystem. We continue to invest across three pillars: security and compliance, scaling, and ease of use.
