Senior Technical Program Manager, Audible

DESCRIPTION

At Audible, we believe stories have the power to transform lives. It’s why we work with some of the world’s leading creators to produce and share audio storytelling with our millions of global listeners. We are dreamers and inventors who come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences to empower and inspire each other. Imagine your future with us.

ABOUT THIS ROLE
The Senior Technical Program Manager will work with our Ad Tech and Marketing technology teams to help execute the technical strategy and roadmap for AdTech and Marketing Content systems that power personalized communications. You will work closely with Software Development Managers (SDMs) and Software Development Engineers (SDEs) to organize and plan new development and enhancement work. You will work with teams across Audible and Amazon to evangelize the marketing technology teams and ensure we have the capabilities and data to meet the current and future needs of the business. You will be a collaborator between the Product team and Audible dev teams to ensure that the data impacts are recognized and planned for. You will continue to look for process improvements both within the team as well as interfaces with other teams to bring efficiencies into the team’s work breakdown and prioritization.

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
- Collaborate with various areas of the business to manage multiple projects effectively
- Partner closely with stakeholders and product managers to ensure successful software development launches from design to deployment
- Pursue technical excellence and proactively drive positive change in projects
- Communicate project risks, progress, launches, and retrospectives to all stakeholders and teams with confidence and transparency
