Prime Gaming, Amazon Prime’s program for anyone who enjoys playing or watching games, is looking for a Senior Product Manager, Tech to raise the bar for how our customers engage with us and enjoy Prime Gaming. In this role, you will be responsible for defining, launching and owning products and features that will position our business to expand globally on a massive scale. You will enable this scale by shipping features that improve and broaden our value proposition for our game player customers.
As a Senior Product Manager, Tech on Prime Gaming’s fast growing and quickly evolving Product & Engineering team, you will design and launch new customer experiences, and help improve the ways our customers discover, install, play games, and interact with their game collections.
The target opportunity is massive, but also ambiguous. You will leverage your product management, technical knowledge and business acumen to clarify, simplify, prioritize, and deliver impactful projects and features.
You will collaborate with cross-functional teams including senior tech leaders and stakeholders, and know how to resolve ambiguity, balance competing priorities, and thrive in an entrepreneurial environment. This means you are not only able to develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives, but can also roll up your sleeves, dig in, and accomplish your goals.
As a leader, you will anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make trade-offs, and balance current and future business needs versus customer desires.
You will be the right Product Manager if you are:
– Customer-focused – you are committed to making the right tradeoffs and protecting high standards on behalf of the customer. You prioritize diving deep on customer data and feedback.
– A big thinker – you have experience and thrive working off a blank piece of paper to deliver new and creative products for customers, versus incremental product improvements.
– Results-oriented – you rally your team to meet their commitments to each other and to customers. Setting the strategy is not enough. Seeing your solutions ship, scale and make a measurable impact on customers’ lives fuels you. All while having fun.
– Fearless – you are drawn to solving challenging problems, navigating ambiguity, countering skepticism and not afraid to fail in the name of learning what works best over the long term.
