Description

Are you interested in innovating to deliver Amazon’s experience to our customers ? We are looking for dynamic and talented Senior Program Managers, who are detail-oriented, self-starter, and passionate about developing strategy and launching programs to support Amazon South Africa growth.

These roles balances creativity with data-driven decision making - we're seeking individuals who can lead strategic programs across diverse stakeholder groups. You will drive both strategy and execution, evolving program processes and tools while developing robust tracking and auditing mechanisms. Success requires big-picture thinking about customer experience, scalability, and long-term automation, combined with strong tactical execution and delivery capabilities.

The right candidate has the ability to build relationships across functional stakeholders, anticipate stakeholder needs and customer needs to plan future work and program deliverables, strong communication skills, a deep sense of ownership, and an ability to shift between strategic thinking and rolling up your sleeves to get things done.

We have multiple Program Manager positions throughout many areas, such as Delivery Experience, Shopping experience, Seller growth, Seller Experience, Selection, Fees, Pricing and others. When you apply to this position, your profile will be evaluated during the interviews for the most suitable role within our team.
