You contribute to team and organization documents (e.g., project/program requirements and roadmap, status, tenets, MBR/QBR, OP1/OP2). Influence managers and peer teams without authority. You meet timelines and minimize disruption to partner and engineering teams, especially during their peak efforts. You manage overall schedule, proactively mitigate any risks, and keep the scope of effort under control. You own all program communication. You accelerate progress by driving crisp and timely decisions, clearing blockers (e.g., path to green), escalating appropriately. You apply process improvement methodologies (e.g., Agile, Lean, Kaizen analyses, or another approach). You may oversee a roll-out process, including shepherding testing, and other launch efforts. You include buffer time, plan for the unexpected, making sure that dependencies are not broken by changes related to the efforts you manage. You plan effectively to make sure those involved in your projects are not overburdened and that outcomes are maintainable. You may manage post-launch support plans (e.g., post-mortem, issue/ticket management, possibly COEs). You look for opportunities to improve system quality and operational excellence. You help recruit and interview for your team. You mentor and help develop others. If you are not sure that every qualification on the list above describes you exactly, we'd still love to hear from you! At Amazon, we value people with unique backgrounds, experiences, and skillsets. If you’re passionate about this role and want to make an impact on a global scale, please apply! About the team
The Amazon Customer Excellence System (ACES) is the management philosophy and practice used by Customer Service to eliminate defects and improve customer experience. To add value and achieve long-term results, we have adopted the following tenets: 1. Human experience comes first. In a conflict between prioritizing between high dollar impact and egregious human experiences (either a customer or employee), the latter wins.
2. Culture enablers. We amplify the long-term value of continuous improvement by providing others with the tools and mechanisms they need to solve problems independently.
3. It is ok to fail. We look for ways to say yes and experiment when facing two-way door decisions, because we can iterate, fix it and learn from it.
4. Process oriented. We believe optimizing processes will improve customers’ experience instead of managing output metrics.
5. Deep continuous improvement methodology: Our differentiator is our continuous improvement mastery; we invest our resources in process efficiency and root cause elimination over generic program or project management needs. We are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations: Edinburgh, SCB, GBR | London, GBR
