ABOUT THIS ROLE

Senior Technical Program Managers (TPMs) are Audible’s relay sprinters, taking projects over the finish line like a champion from concept to launch. As a Senior TPM, you’ll be responsible for the relationship and integration of Audible and Amazon products. This is an opportunity to join a growing team in the Audible hub in Los Angeles. Audible’s Creator Marketplace customers are talented storytellers, voice actors, producers, publishers and our internal content teams. We build innovative tools that let these creators focus on creation while helping them bring their art to millions of listeners by building tools that are valuable, easy to use, and ensuring their success with their audience. By focusing on our creators, we also create value to Audible’s global consumers by helping them to discover new content, talent and stories they love and share. We need your help to lead and manage projects and processes that will help bring more customers to Audible’s Creator Marketplace. We have exciting opportunities that will challenge you to leverage your technical expertise and make a significant impact. As a technical role model and high-impact contributor, you will have the chance to work alongside a team of exceptionally talented individuals who share your passion for innovation and success. Together, you will create transformative experiences for our audience.

ABOUT YOU

You thrive at the heart of the action. At work, change is the only constant – and you wouldn’t have it any other way. Transparency and consistency define your communication skills. You see the bigger picture, letting it guide you, from project risks to retrospectives. “Meticulous” doesn’t do justice to your critical eye. You’re looking for the balance of an energizing start-up culture with the influence of a global e-commerce leader.

As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will…

• Play a leading role in running the delivery of large cross functional projects spanning teams and divisions in Audible and outside of Audible (Amazon teams)
• Collaborate to define core business objectives in order to deliver the best product, program or project with the most efficient use of company resources
• Work with cross functional teams – technology, business and operations to lead multiple projects that have conflicting needs / priorities, from concept to launch
• Work with technical astuteness, be detailed oriented and proactive in seeking opens in the projects and drive subsequent closure
• Communicate project risks, progress, launches and retrospectives across all stakeholders and teams – consistently and transparently
• Strive constantly to improve and establish a new bar in performance (using objective metrics) in project execution
