Senior Product Manager, JP Books, Books
DESCRIPTION
We are looking for an accomplished and analytical Senior Product Manager to join the JP Books Pricing team. As part of the team, you will help identify and drive our roadmap of initiatives to improve price competitiveness and price perception in JP.
The Senior Product Manager owns/supports: 1) Pricing Strategy – helping to define, build and deliver pricing strategies, products and programs that build customer trust, and 2) Pricing Operations – managing day-to-day pricing activities and auditing the impact of pricing on the business. This role is inherently cross-functional – you will work with diverse stakeholders and partner teams including other Pricing teams, central tech/ops teams, VM/Finance/Legal/Marketing, as well as stay closely connected to various global teams at Amazon to assist the delivery of the best pricing experience for customers.
To be successful in this highly visible role, you should be able to work autonomously in a dynamic and fast-paced environment, think big and be comfortable navigating high levels of complexity and ambiguity. You should have strong business acumen and communication/stakeholder management skills, be comfortable analyzing data to provide data-driven recommendations, and be able to partner with stakeholders to define key business questions and deliver solutions. You will be expected to have a detailed understanding of our business while never losing sight of the broader problems we are trying to solve.
