Sr. Technical Program Manager, Business Data Technologies

We are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to join the Data Access Controls team in Business Data Technologies (BDT). You will own and drive complex programs that define how Amazon's largest data lake is governed, ensuring the right people see the right data at the right time.

You will partner with AWS teams, Amazon security and compliance organizations, and multiple engineering teams to deliver governance solutions used by hundreds of thousands of data consumers. You will drive large outcomes by influencing across organizational boundaries, creating structure in ambiguous spaces, and shipping programs that balance security with usability.

This role requires someone who is equally comfortable in technical architecture discussions and stakeholder alignment meetings. You will need to understand distributed systems, data access control models, and policy frameworks well enough to challenge designs, identify risks early, and make trade-offs that protect customer trust without creating unnecessary friction.

Key job responsibilities
- Own complex, multi-quarter programs end-to-end, from requirements through delivery to adoption, spanning engineering, product, UX, and compliance teams
- Drive cross-organizational alignment with policy steward organizations (Privacy, InfoSec, Legal) to rationalize, design, and onboard new compliance policies into the access control system
- Run large-scale adoption campaigns coordinating hundreds of dataset owner teams to classify data and enable governance controls
- Partner with AWS service teams to design solutions that work within and extend their capabilities
- Define and track program metrics and drive measurable improvements
- Identify technical risks in system designs and ensure current implementations do not block future architectural evolution
- Create clarity and structure in high-ambiguity domains where governance requirements, technical constraints, and customer experience must be balanced simultaneously
- Influence engineering architecture decisions and drive technical trade-offs across teams without direct authority
- Communicate program status, risks, and decisions effectively to senior leadership

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
