About this role
Description
Amazon's Worldwide Physical Security team is looking for a Program Manager to help deliver physical security projects across our international network. Working within the team, you will own the day-to-day delivery of assigned projects end-to-end. Coordinating with site security teams, vendors and stakeholders to plan work, manage funding and approvals, track delivery and keep projects on time, on budget and to standard. It is a hands-on delivery role for someone early in their program-management career who enjoys turning plans into delivered outcomes in a fast-paced, multi-site environment.
Key job responsibilities
• Own the end-to-end delivery of physical security projects across assigned sites and programs — from intake and funding preparation through deployment and handover.
• Support the team's senior program managers on their larger, more complex initiatives — tracking actions, chasing dependencies and helping keep delivery moving.
• Prepare and maintain project documentation, including statements of work, responsibility matrices and requirements.
• Support capital funding requests and manage the approvals workflow through to sign-off, tracking spend against approved funding, flagging variances and keeping stakeholders informed.
• Work directly with vendors and installers to schedule works, monitor progress and confirm delivery meets the agreed scope, standards and quality bar.
• Coordinate with site security teams and cross-functional partners to align on requirements, dependencies and timelines, escalating issues appropriately.
• Track project milestones and risks, driving early resolution or ensuring a clean hand-off to the right owner, and report accurate status and metrics into regular business reviews.
• Support proof-of-concept and pilot activity for new physical security technologies, gathering data and documenting outcomes.
• Ensure solutions are delivered in line with Amazon physical security standards and relevant regulatory, legal and safety requirements.
• Contribute to team process improvements — optimising the templates, trackers and workflows the team relies on to deliver.
A day in the life
You start your morning reviewing progress across your program and catching up with partners on solutions being validated across the worldwide network. Mid-morning you join a working session with field security teams and stakeholders to define the problem behind an upcoming initiative and shape the requirements for a pilot, working through how a solution will integrate into live operations without slowing throughput. After lunch, you prepare a capital funding request for a program, pull together data from a recent proof-of-concept to strengthen the business case, and update your senior PM on key risks. Later you coordinate with a partner on a deployment timeline and capture the lessons from a completed pilot to inform the next rollout. Throughout it all, you balance careful planning with hands-on execution, moving solutions from pilot to network-wide reality.
