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 an Operations Project Manager
Frame your credentials for U.S. specialty occupation
Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees for E-3 visa purposes. Get a credential evaluation letter confirming your degree maps to a U.S. bachelor's in business, engineering, or project management before your first interview.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search DOL's OFLC disclosure data for companies that have filed Labor Condition Applications for operations or project management roles. Prior LCA filings signal an employer already understands the E-3 process and won't treat sponsorship as a deal-breaker.
Clarify the E-3 advantage early in negotiations
Many U.S. hiring managers assume Australian candidates require H-1B visa sponsorship and a lottery slot. Correct this assumption before offer stage: the E-3 has no lottery, no annual cap, and your employer can have you working within weeks of a consulate appointment.
Confirm your role meets specialty occupation standards
The DOL requires your Operations Project Manager position to normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. If the job posting says 'degree preferred' rather than 'required,' ask HR to confirm the internal job description uses degree-required language before your LCA is filed.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the LCA and paperwork
Once you have an offer, Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages the LCA submission to DOL, prepares your visa application documents, and guides you through your consulate appointment, so neither you nor your employer needs prior E-3 experience.
Plan your consulate appointment around project timelines
Sydney and Melbourne consulate wait times fluctuate and can affect your start date. Secure your appointment as soon as your employer's LCA is DOL-certified, so you can give your new team a realistic onboarding date and avoid project handover delays.
E-3 Visa Operations Project Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Operations 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 sponsorship. Because many employers don't advertise E-3 support explicitly, filtering by companies with a demonstrated history of E-3 or LCA filings in operations and project management functions is the most reliable way to find genuine opportunities.
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 an Operations Project Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field such as business administration, industrial engineering, or supply chain management. The key test is that the degree must be a standard entry requirement for the role, not merely preferred. A generic management role where any degree is accepted may not qualify, so the job description wording matters.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Operations Project Manager roles?
The E-3 is available exclusively to Australian citizens and has no lottery, no annual cap, and no employer-specific petition fee to USCIS. The H-1B requires entering a lottery with roughly a 25% selection rate and waiting up to a year for authorization. For Operations Project Managers with Australian citizenship, the E-3 is a direct path that most employers find far simpler to process.
Can I change employers or projects while on an E-3 visa?
You can change employers on an E-3, but your new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you'll need a new E-3 visa stamp, which typically requires a consulate appointment in Australia. You can begin working for the new employer as soon as the LCA is certified and your new visa is issued. There is no grace period for working without authorization between roles.
