Senior Program Manager, Nature-Based Solutions - SE Asia, Carbon Neutralization [Singapore]

 

• 5+ years of program or project management experience
• Experience using data and metrics to determine and drive improvements
• Experience owning program strategy, end to end delivery, and communicating results to senior leadership

Amazon’s commitment to The Climate Pledge motivates us to work both inside and outside of our business operations to enact carbon emissions mitigation. Along with the emissions reduction initiatives within our business operations, we have a robust strategy aligned with climate science for tackling climate change outside of our business, through nature-based solutions.

We are looking for an experienced Program Manager to drive forward our objectives in SE Asia, a key region globally for nature-based solutions like forest restoration and sustainable agriculture. This is a new opportunity as our team grows and we expand on our work in this space.

The Program Manager will be expected to deliver on complex projects with partners inside and outside of the company, handling both day-to-day matters (constantly thinking about how to invent and simplify to improve) and longer-term, program-wide initiatives.

Key job responsibilities

• Manage Amazon’s day-to-day engagement with funded nature-based solutions projects in SE Asia
• Manage relationships, workflow, and contracts with private and nonprofit sector implementation partners and consultants
• Build trust and manage relationships with local stakeholders in government, civil society, and the private sector to surface stakeholder concerns and foster support for our work
• Collaborate with internal and external teams to manage project execution risk and carry new project design concepts through exploration, development, and deployment
• Build trust, relationships, and collaborations with internal Amazon teams across many functional areas
• Successfully initiate, plan, execute, monitor and communicate progress and issues, and deliver on initiatives
• Periodic travel to project sites around SE Asia, and occasional international travel
