About the role
DESCRIPTION
The Amazon Community Impact (ACI) team helps Amazon prioritize and address societal problems where we can make a difference by leveraging the company's unique assets (technology, logistics, expertise). With over 1.5 million Amazonians living and working across 60+ countries, there is unprecedented opportunity to scale collective impact by connecting our greatest asset—our people—to community initiatives through volunteering. We view volunteering as a strategic advantage that can amplify each of our community impact priorities: disaster relief, food security, and education.
The ACI Volunteering team's vision is to cultivate a culture of volunteering where Amazonians use their time, experience, and skills to shape a better tomorrow for our local communities, planet, and future generations. Through globally relevant products and programs we enable and enhance the volunteering experience for Amazonians.
The Executive Volunteering Lead is a senior program manager who owns volunteering strategy and execution for a portfolio of global senior leaders (Directors, Vice Presidents, Senior VPs, C-Suite) and their organizations. This role works backwards from executive and business priorities to create strategic volunteering plans, collaborate with key stakeholders to bring plans to fruition, identify and close gaps in existing volunteering products, and drive execution to deliver measurable community and employee impact.
Successful candidates think big and dive deep to build volunteering plans that drive measurable impact. You define an organization’s volunteering strategy based on deep customer understanding and are comfortable operating at all levels of the organization, from presenting to S-Team (C-suite) members to working hands-on with Community Ambassadors (volunteer event coordinators). You excel at translating strategic vision into execution, analyzing data, and building scalable mechanisms. You’re a force multiplier who deploys AI tools and agents to challenge your thinking, redesign processes, automate workflows, and expand organizational capacity. You collaborate effectively with diverse teams and have the executive presence to influence senior leadership while remaining approachable to frontline volunteers.
