Customer Program Manager Jobs in Washington

DESCRIPTION

Come build the future of Amazon Customer Service (CS) with us. Quality & Escalation’s vision is to deliver exceptional customer experiences that restore customer trust through continuous inspection, innovation, and improvement. Q&E exists to provide Tier 2 support to frontline teams when the ‘Andon cord’ is raised on customer experience issues. We resolve customer escalations across all sources while focusing on identifying and eliminating their root causes. We design and implement frameworks to measure service quality and lead technology and programmatic initiatives to continuously improve the quality of service across all CS interactions and touchpoints. Q&E is a large and impactful Operational, Program and Product team across 6K Amazonians, spanning 30+ countries.

A key priority our team will deliver is Quality of Service (QoS), a foundational multi-dimensional program to transform how CS observes, measures, and improves customer experience across all interactions.

QoS will establish consistent, scalable measurement frameworks, strengthen observability, and deliver mechanisms that turn insights into continuous improvement. It will surface key customer experience trends, defects, and gaps across all touchpoints (human-assisted, self-service, etc.) to enable faster, data-driven action at scale.

The Principal Technical Program Manager, QoS will lead a multi-year program, leading the strategy, execution, and cross-org alignment to build end-to-end CS observability, improve interaction measurement, and improve the overall CS interaction experience.
