Customer experience is at the heart of all we do at Amazon, as we strive to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Amazon Customer Service (CS) is at the forefront of customer experience, working relentlessly to provide customers a convenient, high quality, and delightful experience — across all of our CS channels — in every interaction.
Within CS, Network Solutions is responsible for designing, planning, and operating the world's largest customer service network — building intelligent, adaptive systems that anticipate demand, match customers to optimal experiences, and continuously improve service quality. We are transforming CS from a manually operated, reactive model into an AI-native ecosystem that makes CS a growth driver and competitive advantage for Amazon.
We are seeking a Program Manager to join the Network Control Center (NCC), Amazon's central incident management function for Customer Service. The NCC detects, manages, and resolves high-severity incidents impacting customers, associates, drivers, and brands in real time — coordinating response across dozens of teams to minimize customer impact and restore service. When systems fail at scale, contact volumes spike unexpectedly, or a service disruption threatens millions of customer interactions, the NCC takes command. You will be at the center of that response — running incidents end-to-end, driving cross-functional coordination under pressure, and ensuring leadership has the information they need to make decisions fast.
