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 Technical Operations Manager
Translate your credentials for U.S. employers
Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees for E-3 visa purposes, but spell this out in your resume. Include your field of study alongside your degree title so hiring managers can verify specialty occupation alignment without guesswork.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search DOL's OFLC disclosure data for employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for operations or technical management roles. Prior LCA activity signals that the employer understands the sponsorship process and won't stall at the paperwork stage.
Frame your role as a specialty occupation upfront
Technical Operations Manager titles can look ambiguous to U.S. hiring teams unfamiliar with E-3 requirements. In early conversations, confirm the role requires a degree in a specific technical field, not just any bachelor's degree, to protect your application from a specialty occupation challenge.
Negotiate LCA filing before resigning in Australia
Your employer must file and receive a certified LCA from DOL before you can attend your consulate appointment. Confirm the LCA is submitted and certified before you give notice at your current job. DOL certification typically takes seven business days.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for end-to-end preparation
Once you have an offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork through to your consulate appointment. This avoids the common error of misclassifying your prevailing wage level, which can trigger a DOL audit or consular pushback.
Prepare a specialty occupation support letter with your employer
Ask your employer to draft a support letter explaining why the Technical Operations Manager role requires a specific technical degree, not just general management experience. Consular officers scrutinize operations titles more closely than narrower technical roles, so a detailed letter reduces interview friction.
E-3 Visa Technical Operations Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Technical Operations Manager jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for U.S. roles with E-3 sponsorship. You can filter by job title and see employers with verified sponsorship intent, which removes the guesswork of cold-applying to companies that don't understand the E-3 process. General job boards don't filter by visa type or sponsorship history, so using a dedicated tool saves significant time.
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 Technical Operations Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for E-3?
Yes, provided the role requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific technical field such as engineering, industrial management, or operations management, and the job duties directly apply that expertise. Roles where any bachelor's degree satisfies the requirement, regardless of field, are more vulnerable to a specialty occupation challenge at the consulate. Your employer's support letter should clearly tie the degree requirement to the technical duties of the position.
How does the E-3 visa compare to H-1B for Technical Operations Manager roles?
The E-3 has no annual lottery and no cap, so you can apply at any point in the year and your application isn't subject to random selection. H-1B visa registration opens once a year in March, and only about one in four registrants is selected. For Technical Operations Manager roles, which are common enough that H-1B competition is high, the E-3 path is considerably more predictable and faster from offer to start date.
Can I change employers or get promoted while on an E-3 as a Technical Operations Manager?
You can change employers, but each new position requires a fresh LCA and a new visa stamp or change of status filing. Promotions within the same employer that involve a material change in duties or wage level also require an amended LCA. Plan for at least seven business days for DOL to certify a new LCA before you transition roles, and don't start with the new employer until the process is complete.
