Program Specialist, NCC, Network Control Center

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 Specialist 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.

At Amazon, you'll work alongside the latest AI and GenAI tools that are increasingly woven into how teams operate: from AI-powered capabilities that accelerate decision-making, to Generative AI that helps you focus on work that truly matters. You'll have opportunities and resources to develop AI fluency at your own pace, with continuous learning built into the culture.

• Develop, maintain, and execute Standard Operating Procedures for incident response scenarios, including coordination playbooks for cross-functional teams
• Track service health metrics and coordinate with stakeholders to mitigate customer impact during capacity constraints or system degradation
