DESCRIPTION
At Amazon, data is critical to everything we do, from understanding product inventories across our global fulfillment centers to predicting what products to recommend to customers. Data ceaselessly informs our flywheel, helping us to understand customer needs, onboard new sellers and selection, and identify opportunities for cost savings. Business Data Technologies (BDT) provides trustworthy, intuitive, and cost-efficient solutions for Amazonians to secure, store, analyze, and transform this data at unparalleled scale. BDT owns, develops, and operates Andes, one of the largest data lakes in the world, storing 3+ exabytes of data, read/written to by 100k+ data pipelines, with >60k monthly active users. To do this, we need extraordinary individuals to build the next generation of data analytics, machine learning, and AI solutions for thousands of scientists, engineers, and analysts who rely upon us to get their jobs done.
The BDT-AI4ME organization works to bring AI-centric methodologies and automations to Amazon organizations needing to connect their business teams and objectives with their data teams and architectures. The BDT-AI4ME organization seeks to lower the cognitive load needed to connect business to data through best of class agents and AI-ready metadata to allow anyone to access data to gain insights.
As a Principal Technical Program Manager in the BDT-AI4ME organization, you understand ways that enterprises apply AI to solve business and technical problems. You understand the ways that Amazon’s business teams work with their data teams, and you seek to reduce friction and error-proneness of those interactions using AI. You drive lightweight mechanisms that bring visibility to leadership, share best practices, and provide better communication and collaboration across teams. This role works closely with Tech Directors, VPs and Principal Engineers to identify patterns, new trends, goals and areas for cross-org collaboration. This role does not support just one organization but rather focuses on best practices that can be applicable to multiple organizations across Amazon.
Key job responsibilities
You focus on the needs of business users as they navigate data from question to insight. You formulate goals and plans for transforming the ways Amazon extracts value from its data through iterative improvements involving AI enablement, process optimization, role guidelines, and org design.
As part of a broader team, you collaborate with other technical program managers to ensure that work in your space aligns with work and plans of other teams across BDT and other organizations. You establish mechanisms for inspection and awareness of progress across cross cutting initiatives.
Data drives your “flywheel”. You analyze data to glean insights that drive experimentation. You leverage data such as service telemetry, user feedback, and industry trends to surface opportunities for improvement. You take what’s proven and partner with Amazon organizations to apply and scale it. You define, implement, and monitor metrics that track your progress.
You partner with Amazon’s business orgs to test hypotheses and deploy AI-based solutions to reduce friction and risk of errors in the ways that businesses use data.
You give feedback on narratives, contribute to strategy (e.g., OP1 planning), set goals, discuss weekly business metrics, and more.
You partner with Amazon’s PXT organization to evolve and optimize roles guidelines and org design best practices to align with the way businesses are evolving their practices around getting insights from their data.
You partner with engineering, human resources, legal, documentation, solution architecture, privacy, finance, and more to optimize usage of the Andes data lake for AI-based methodologies.
As an owner, you hold yourself and partners accountable for the highest quality user outcomes.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Commercial Project Manager
Align your credentials with U.S. specialty occupation standards
Your Australian bachelor's degree must map to the specific discipline the role requires. A three-year Australian degree is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree, but bring transcripts and a credential evaluation if your employer's HR team raises concerns.
Target employers with active DOL LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data to identify construction, real estate, and infrastructure firms that have already filed LCAs for project management roles. Prior filings signal that a company's legal team understands the E-3 visa process.
Frame your E-3 eligibility early in interviews
Raise E-3 sponsorship before the offer stage, not after. Explain that no lottery is involved, the employer files a DOL LCA rather than a USCIS petition, and the process typically concludes at your nearest U.S. consulate in Australia without disrupting your start date.
Use Migrate Mate to handle your LCA and consulate paperwork
Once you have an offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to manage the LCA submission, DS-160 preparation, and consulate appointment documentation. This keeps your employer's administrative burden low and reduces the risk of errors that delay your visa stamp.
Prepare a specialty occupation justification for your offer letter
Ask your employer to specify in the offer letter that the role requires a bachelor's degree in a relevant field as a minimum, not merely a preference. Consular officers scrutinize whether commercial project management roles meet the specialty occupation definition, and this language strengthens your case.
Understand the prevailing wage requirement before negotiating salary
The DOL LCA requires your employer to pay at least the prevailing wage for your job title and location. Review the DOL Foreign Labor Certification wage data for your metro area before negotiating so your offer clears the threshold without triggering a request for an amended LCA.
E-3 Visa Commercial Project Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Commercial Project Manager jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for U.S. roles that include E-3 visa sponsorship. You can filter by job title and location to find Commercial Project Manager openings at employers already familiar with the E-3 process, which significantly shortens the time from application to offer.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Commercial Project Manager role qualify as an E-3 specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field such as project management, construction management, civil engineering, or a related discipline. Roles where any degree is acceptable, regardless of field, may not meet the specialty occupation standard. Your offer letter should state the degree requirement explicitly rather than listing it as preferred.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for Commercial Project Managers?
The E-3 has no annual cap and no lottery, so you can apply at any point in the year and receive a decision at a U.S. consulate in Australia within weeks of your employer filing the DOL LCA. The H-1B visa is subject to an oversubscribed lottery and a fixed October 1 start date. For most Australian professionals in project management, the E-3 is faster and more predictable.
Can I change employers or projects while on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but your new employer must file a fresh DOL LCA and you will need a new E-3 visa stamp reflecting that employer before you can begin work for them. If you are already in the U.S., you can pursue a change of status, but most practitioners recommend obtaining the new stamp at a consulate in Australia to avoid ambiguity about your work authorization start date.
