Manager, Product Management Jobs in Bellevue, WA

Amazon created one of the most sophisticated supply chains in the world. From the introduction of Amazon Prime to the use of advanced technology for package delivery, Amazon consistently drives change from the front of the pack.

Amazon is now searching for an innovative and results-oriented Sr. Manager, Technical Vendor Management to lead the engineering-focused vendor performance organization within NA Global Engineering Services (GES). This leader will own the full vendor lifecycle for MHE integrators, component suppliers, and construction vendors—from qualification through active project execution, performance accountability, and continuous improvement.

As the Sr. Manager and Leader of TVM, you will build and lead the organization responsible for ensuring Amazon's vendor portfolio delivers safely, on time, and to quality standards. TVM operates across four pillars: MHE Integrator Management, Vendor Development & Qualification, Component Vendor Management & Spec Governance, and Construction Vendor Management. You will set the strategic direction for vendor performance across the NA fulfillment network, build deep relationships with vendor executive leadership, and drive systemic improvements that make Amazon's vendor pool stronger every year.

Successful candidates are natural leaders who bring deep engineering credibility, strategic portfolio thinking, and a track record of building high-performing teams that hold external partners accountable to measurable outcomes. You must be comfortable operating at the intersection of engineering execution, data-driven performance management, and cross-organizational influence.

As a senior manager, you are responsible for establishing the right team structure and overall execution strategy to meet long-term business needs. You partner with business leaders across GES, GPO, RME, D&C, WWDE, and global TVM counterparts to deliver a unified vendor management strategy that reduces risk, improves performance year-over-year, and expands Amazon's supply base.

You must be responsive, flexible, and able to succeed within an open collaborative environment. Amazon's culture encourages innovation and expects leaders to take a high level of ownership in solving complex, cross-functional problems.

This role requires up to 50% regional travel on a yearly basis. When not traveling, you must have availability to work from a corporate office. Candidates should either live near or be willing to relocate within a reasonable commuting distance of one of the corporate office locations listed. Relocation assistance may be provided.
