Description
The Customer Service Application Security team seeks a dynamic Senior Technical Program Manager to own and drive security initiatives across multiple teams within Amazon. In this role, you will leverage your expertise to develop and implement a risk-based approach to address application security issues, collaborating with development teams, security engineers, and senior leadership. Your mission will be two-fold: driving down security issues and preventing new ones from occurring. You'll also build stakeholder relationships and drive adoption of security “paved roads” — standardized, secure development practices — and guardrails that guide teams towards secure choices by default. Your ability to influence cross-functional teams will be crucial in prioritizing security improvements amid competing priorities. Join us in enhancing our organization's security posture, driving continuous improvement, and managing program risks in an evolving threat landscape.Key job responsibilities

2. Develop and implement a prioritized, risk-based approach to address and reduce security issues within applications and systems.
3. Collaborate with software development teams, security engineers, and senior leadership to identify, assess, and mitigate application security risks.
4. Create and maintain comprehensive project plans and develop and deliver regular status reports and executive summaries to senior management on application security posture and initiatives.
5. Establish and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the effectiveness of security programs.
6. Build and manage relationships with key stakeholders to drive security improvements.
7. Define and implement best practice methods, processes, tools and continuous improvement initiatives aimed at scaling processes.
8. Facilitate security awareness and training initiatives to educate development teams on application security principles.
9. Proactively identify and manage program risks, developing mitigation strategies and contingency plans as needed.
10. Influence and negotiate with cross-functional teams to prioritize and implement security improvements, often in environments with competing priorities.
11. Work with software development teams building security solutions.
Our team is one where you own everything end to end.
