Senior Program Manager, GREF - Portfolio Strategy Implementation, Puget , AMER Portfolio Strategy - Seattle | Amazon Job

Job Description

Work hard, have fun, make history. That’s what we do every day at Amazon. As a key member of Amazon’s Global Real Estate & Facilities (GREF) team, the Senior Program Manager will be directly responsible for implementing the portfolio strategies developed for the Puget Sound region — turning city, building, and org-level strategy into executed outcomes. Working in close partnership with the Portfolio Strategist, this role owns the end-to-end delivery of lease, build, move, consolidate, and close actions, keeping each initiative on scope, on schedule, and aligned to business needs.

The Senior Program Manager will serve as the connective tissue between strategy and execution — taking the recommendations the Strategist aligns with GREF decision makers and senior business leaders, and driving the cross-functional work required to make them real. They will build and manage detailed implementation plans, track milestones and dependencies, surface and resolve risks, and keep stakeholders aligned on status and next steps. They will use reporting and data to monitor progress and communicate clearly with partners at all levels of the organization.

The optimal candidate is an experienced, highly organized program manager who thrives in an entrepreneurial culture — providing structure, driving accountability, and communicating relentlessly — while remaining approachable and consultative. They are not afraid to dive deep into details, take ownership, and think big. The candidate must be able to balance frugality with creativity in solving delivery challenges and approach problem-solving with an emphasis on root cause. An ideal candidate can navigate high levels of ambiguity, demonstrate a strong bias for action, and take calculated risks in a fast-paced environment.
