We are seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager to lead the technical evolution and execution of Alexa experiences on new tablet devices. This role sits at the intersection of tablet hardware, Alexa app, and Alexa domain teams, driving the end-to-end delivery of deeply integrated, differentiated Alexa capabilities across our tablet portfolio. You will be part of the core team defining the technical roadmap, align cross-organizational stakeholders, and ensure flawless execution of complex programs that shape how customers interact with Alexa on tablets.
As a Principal TPM, you will operate with complete independence in an area where business and architectural strategy is still being defined. You will own the Alexa-on-Tablets technical roadmap, drive clarity across ambiguous problem spaces, and deliver large-scale engineering programs that span multiple organizations — including Tablet Software, Alexa App, Alexa AI/Domain Services, and Hardware teams.
Key job responsibilities
• Cross-org execution. Drive cross-organizational execution across Tablet OS/SW, Alexa App, Alexa domain teams (Voice, Visual, Smart Home, Entertainment, etc.), and Hardware teams to deliver integrated experiences on new tablet devices
• Problem decomposition. Decompose complex, ambiguous problems into clear workstreams, milestones, and deliverables — minimizing redundant engineering effort across teams
• Architecture & integration. Partner with engineering leaders to define system boundaries, APIs, and integration patterns between tablet platform and Alexa services
• Org & architecture evolution. Drive organizational and architectural changes that enable teams to work independently while delivering cohesive customer experiences
• Program mechanisms. Create and optimize mechanisms for cross-team coordination, dependency management, and long-term program health across the tablet-Alexa ecosystem
• Executive communication. Represent complex technical decisions and trade-offs clearly to leadership (VP+), building consensus across organizations with competing priorities
• Risk identification & mitigation. Recognize failure patterns, steer teams away from prior pitfalls, and proactively resolve cross-team blockers
• Resource & investment influence. Make the case for technology investments, secure commitments from partner teams, and ensure appropriate staffing for critical workstreams
• Organizational amplification. Mentor TPMs across the organization, contribute to TPM community best practices, and raise the bar on program management excellence
