Sr. Product Manager, Value Added Services, WW VAS Product
DESCRIPTION
Do you want to lead design of Amazon's last mile business product strategy? Do you thrive while working backwards from a customer problem statement or need and designing entirely new products from the ground up or significantly changing features and experiences? Are you looking for a role where you can have a highly visible international impact on the business? The Worldwide Delivery Service Partner (DSP) Product and Strategy organization is seeking a Senior Product Manager to drive rapid global expansion of Amazon’s Last Mile delivery capabilities.
At Amazon, we're working to be the most Customer-centric company on earth. The Worldwide DSP Product and Strategy team is constantly re-inventing the customer experience. We're doing so by building a world class last mile operation that raises the bar on customer expectations by ensuring that their orders, no matter how large or small, are delivered as quickly, accurately, and cost effectively as possible through a rapidly expanding global network of entrepreneur owned and operated small businesses (the DSP program). To enable the program to scale in a sustainable way, Amazon is seeking an exceptional Senior Product Manager who will define the vision and global product strategy for a product supporting a network of 3500+ individual entrepreneurs who are rapidly scaling small and medium businesses in 22 countries.
This is a new and a fast-growing space with loads of complexity due to the unique challenges of taking a tested model and innovating new ways of delivering products across highly variable environments. This individual will work with cross-functional teams to leverage best practices from various last mile channels using diverse technology to ideate, design, and launch this new product. The optimal fit for this role will be a candidate wanting to roll-up his or her sleeves, dive into a challenge, develop a path forward by working with multiple stakeholders, and convince senior management that their solution is the best one. This will be a high visibility global role, meaning that the optimal candidate will be comfortable driving critical business decisions in fast paced, high pressure, and often ambiguous environment, and elevating critical one-way door decisions to senior leadership. A successful candidate will be customer focused, highly analytical, resourceful, a big thinker, a strong writer, and able to operate at all levels of the organization. Any background in logistics, last mile, supply chain and/or experience in risk management and product management will be considered a plus.
Our organization is based in the US, but we support global operations across Americas, EMEA, and APAC. Domestic and international travel will be required 10-20% of the time.
