Sr Product Manager - Technical, Pricing Shared Services
DESCRIPTION
The Retail Pricing team prices everything shipped and sold by Amazon, worldwide, and cross-format. Our goal is to earn long term customer trust by offering the best prices to customers, across hundreds of millions of prices everyday. Experimentation, automation, and scalability are a core part of our mission statement. In this role, you will seamlessly transition from being the enterprising leader securing organizational alignment on strategic initiatives to delivering new high-performance, fault-tolerant capabilities that improve our prices without human intervention.
We are an interdisciplinary team of Product Managers, Engineers, and Scientists incubating and building day one solutions using state-of-the-art technology to solve some of the toughest business problems at Amazon.
Key job responsibilities
In this role, you will be the product leader that will envision, build and deliver high-performance, fault-tolerant capabilities to support high-fidelity prices without human intervention, across the breadth of our strategies, products and channels. You will define metrics that structure the ambiguities of new businesses that Amazon launches worldwide, and you will communicate your emerging vision to their senior leaders. You will make strategic decisions to invest in new software versus new ways to leverage operations. You will work with engineering teams to find innovation opportunities that reduce our errors as we price at the scale of billions of prices.
This role is for you if you have a passion for leading the design and creation of software products that make real-time business decisions and self-improve the quality of their results. You are highly analytical, and will work across the different pricing strategy teams, research teams, our business stakeholders and other teams across Amazon to prioritize automation features, influence up and across the organization and synthesize a variety of technologies and capabilities into a high quality change management experience that improves prices across the board.
A day in the life
On a typical day, you will talk to several customers, define and prioritize the roadmap, deep dive to root cause a customer issue, release the latest new feature, define and report business metrics, discuss radical new approaches to building and operating at scale.
