Technical Program Manager, WWPS Engineering, Worldwide Public Sector Engineering - Amazon Web Services

DESCRIPTION

• Serve as the dedicated TPM lead embedded within a prioritized sales vertical, building sustained trust with Sales and Solution Architecture leadership
• Drive foresight into upcoming vertical priorities, positioning AI engineering involvement early where it can deliver the greatest leverage against sales-owned objectives
• Operate the Prioritization Triad Model — providing structured comparative inputs on scale potential, reuse, complexity, time-to-impact, and delivery risk when multiple opportunities compete for engineering capacity
• Qualify engineering engagements against a scale bar: WWPS scalability, service team reusability, multi-customer applicability, and force-multiplier potential
• Manage engagement lifecycle from qualification through delivery, coordinating across Software Development Managers, Solution Architects, and Service Team stakeholders
• Drive co-build execution with AWS Service Teams and Partners, ensuring solutions close service gaps or create repeatable patterns that benefit multiple customers across the vertical
• Develop lightweight, data-led assessments that inform Sales and SA decision-making on suitability of engineering engagement
• Participate in existing vertical planning, prioritization, and inspection forums — adopting established Sales and SA mechanisms rather than introducing parallel processes
• Manage capacity aligned to the vertical through Minimal Deployment Units (MDUs), ensuring utilization against priority outcomes
