Head of Content Ops & Prog Mgt, AWS T&C Curriculum

Job ID: 2806470 | Amazon Web Services, Inc.

As Head of Global Content Operations and Program Management, you will serve as a strategic leader driving the transformation of Core Curriculum from a content creation organization to a tech-enabled content aggregation and scaling organization.
You will exponentially expand our training portfolio and enable T&C’s AI-powered vision for Skill Builder by:

1. Driving development and adoption of purpose built self-service content tools and processes by AWS subject matter experts from the wider AWS community (internal and, ultimately, external).
2. Identification and adoption of 1P and 3P creative technologies to reduce friction arising from localization, accessibility, modality/presentation shifts, and content updates. This includes negotiation and management of multiple 1P and 3P technology partnerships.
3. Building and managing publishing and “content operations” mechanisms that can cope with content aggregator degrees of scale.
4. Leading the creation, adoption, and maintenance of cross-org business scaling mechanisms. This includes cross-org goal-setting and tracking, program management of cross-org initiatives, “rhythm of business” mechanisms, and business analytics/intelligence.

Reporting into the Director of Core Curriculum, you will directly manage a team of ~40, including program managers, a content publishing team, a localization operations team, international studio teams, and a creative services team.

Key job responsibilities

• You have high judgment on critical strategic and business issues. Examples include, but are not limited to, “Build vs buy” tech decisions, appropriate value exchange in partnerships, content quality vs lead time trade-offs, goal-setting, short vs long-term resource allocations, and balanced management of regulatory and PR risks.
• Your customer obsession makes you a role model for Amazon’s Day 1 culture. You have low tolerance for unnecessary bureaucracy, and you bias (fearlessly) on the side of creating value for customers.
• You create and maintain high-trust, productive working relationships with internal and external stakeholders. Not just at a personal level but as a leader and organizational figure-head.
• You are a simplifier, who can help your organization navigate complex and often ambiguous challenges and opportunities with a bias for action. You are experienced and adept at driving org-wide adoption of decision-making tenets and frameworks that scale.
• You are a persuasive and influential communicator who can provide effective thought leadership at all levels of the organization (up, down, and sideways). You are a role model for clear and crisp written communication in all forms.
• You are highly curious and will make up for what domain knowledge and experience you may lack by seeking greater understanding from a multitude of sources. You role model continuous learning for your organization.
• You are an inspirational and inclusive leader of leaders and their teams. You don’t compromise on high standards, and you are able to balance high performance expectations with a culture of mutual respect, engagement and inclusion.
