Senior Technical Program Manager driving program execution and technical milestones for AWS classified cloud services.
As Senior TPM you own the cross-team execution that turns ASCI's roadmap into delivered, adopted capabilities and successful customer onboardings. You run the programs end to end, drive the technical and compliance milestones each launch and onboarding depends on, and keep many teams across AWS, customers, and government stakeholders aligned to the plan.

- Own program execution for ASCI launches and customer onboardings, end to end.

- Coordinate across AWS service, engineering, security, and field teams, and with customers and government stakeholders.

- Coordinate across many teams. Align AWS service, engineering, security, and field teams, and work directly with customers and government stakeholders to keep delivery moving.
