Amazon · Heredia, Heredia, CRI
About The Role
At Amazon we strive to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our passion for invention leads us to continually pioneer andglobalise new businesses and customer offerings. As a result, Amazon continues to grow and evolve across many differentbusiness <lines.In> supporting this growth and evolution, Amazon Finance Operations (FinOps) goal is to deliver seamless procure-to-pay, order-to-cash and payroll processes that enable geographic and market expansion across all Amazon's businesses, from Retail, Digitaland Advertising through to AWS and Logistics, while ensuring regulatory and legal compliance. As part of this growth we nowseek a Customer Obsessed, Results Driven Senior Program Manager for our FinOps Program Management Office (PMO) in theLATAM region.This is no ordinary Program Management role. You will own the lifecycle of complex, cross-functional programs that touch everyaspect of our diverse, fast-paced global operations — from defining program strategy and vision through to sustained deliveryand continuous improvement. As a Senior Program Manager, you will lead cross-functional teams to deliver large-scale businesstransformations, working backwards from the core problem to challenge assumptions, develop clear program tenets, and makesmart trade-offs between competing <priorities.You> will leverage AI as a force multiplier across the entire delivery lifecycle — not as a peripheral tool, but as an integral part ofhow you plan, coordinate, track, communicate, and deliver. From generating and stress-testing program plans, to automatingstatus aggregation across workstreams, to producing launch readiness assessments and synthesising post-launch operationaldata into actionable improvements — you will set the standard for AI-augmented program <delivery.You> will bring high judgment to distinguish between one-way and two-way door decisions, driving rapid experimentation wherepossible while ensuring rigour for irreversible choices. You will take calculated risks in pursuit of breakthrough results,understanding that significant progress on a bold objective often creates more value than perfectly delivering incrementalimprovements. Are you ready to redefine what's possible in Program Management? Apply now and join the Amazon teamdriving the future of global technology and innovation.Who Are We Looking For?The successful candidate will bring a demonstrated ability to manage the lifecycle of complex, cross-functional programs withconsiderable business impact. You will have a proven track record of delivering large-scale, highly complex business programimplementations in fast-paced, deadline-driven and virtual environments, ideally involving systems development <andintegration.You> will demonstrate:• Active, demonstrable use of AI across the program delivery lifecycle — from planning and dependency mappingthrough to launch coordination, status synthesis, risk identification, and post-launch analysis. We do not want someonewho knows about AI; we want someone who delivers programs differently because of it.• The ability to work backwards from the problem — challenging assumptions about how things have been done,questioning whether existing approaches are still the right ones, and designing solutions from the core problem ratherthan defaulting to precedent.• High-judgment decision-making — distinguishing reversible from irreversible decisions, applying appropriate rigour toeach, and driving decisions confidently when data is incomplete.• A metrics-driven approach that goes beyond tracking numbers to designing measurement frameworks that distinguishoutput metrics (delivery completion) from outcome metrics (business impact, stakeholder satisfaction) — whileknowing when to trust judgment over data.• The ability to distil complex scenarios into clear, compelling narratives and communicate persuasively at all levels —from technical engineering teams to VPs.• A track record of force multiplication — creating mechanisms, frameworks, and reusable approaches that deliver valuebeyond a single program.• Superior influencing and interpersonal skills to resolve conflicts, build consensus across organizations with differentpriorities, and drive cross-functional decision making without authority.Key job responsibilitiesYour responsibilities will span seven core dimensions:• Stakeholder & Customer Understanding: Engage systematically with stakeholders across FinOps and partnerorganisations to understand business problems, constraints, and scaling factors. Gather requirements from diversepersonas, distinguish representative signal from isolated requests, and drive mindful discussions that lead to crispdecisions and aligned outcomes.• Systems & Technical Awareness: Understand the systems landscape deeply — automation limitations, integrationdependencies, and scaling factors. Leverage AI across the full program lifecycle: generating and stress-testing programplans, mapping dependency chains, automating status aggregation, accelerating testing coordination, producing launchreadiness assessments, and synthesising post-launch data into actionable recommendations.• Strategic Thinking & Decision-Making: Work backwards from the problem — questioning proposals and testingassumptions rather than perpetuating approaches because "that is how it has always been done." Distinguish betweenone-way and two-way door decisions, develop clear program tenets that guide prioritisation, and make smart trade-offsbetween time, effort, and deliverables with measurable success criteria.• Solution Design & Process Architecture: Design scalable program mechanisms that create predictable process pathsand ensure long-term success. Streamline or eliminate excess process, steer teams away from classic failure modes, andcontinually strengthen FinOps PMO effectiveness by delivering innovative, think-big improvement opportunities.• Metrics & Judgment: Design measurement frameworks that distinguish output metrics from outcome metrics. Identifythe highest-leverage input metrics, use AI to synthesise cross-team status inputs and identify leading indicators ofdelivery risk, and drive decisions confidently when data is incomplete — using judgment calibrated by experience.• Execution & Results Delivery: Lead cross-functional teams to deliver highly complex, large-scale programs frominitiation through to delivery, on time and with quality. Take calculated risks where bold programmatic moves coulddeliver disproportionate impact, use AI to amplify personal capacity across the delivery lifecycle, and learnsystematically from outcomes.• Cross-Functional Leadership: Effectively communicate with and influence senior, VP-level stakeholders across multipleparts of the organisation. Write effective narratives, influence without authority across organisations with differentpriorities, and actively mentor and develop others.
