Senior Program Manager, Bespoke Solutions

The Bespoke Solutions Teams is looking for an experienced Senior Program Manager to own contractor operations, vendor management, and lab/manufacturing coordination for a high-assurance hardware program within AWS Infrastructure Services — the team building security and encryption devices for government customers.

You will be the connective tissue across engineering, supply chain, security, and external manufacturing partners — removing friction and reducing key-person dependencies on a fast-moving classified program.

Your success is measured by smooth operational execution, reduced administrative load on engineering leads, and reliable delivery of contractor and manufacturing support as the program scales toward production.
