Amazon Advertising operates at the intersection of eCommerce and advertising, offering a rich array of digital display advertising solutions with the goal of helping our customers find and discover anything they want to buy. We help advertisers reach Amazon customers on Amazon.com, on other high quality sites across the web, and on millions of devices (Kindles, Fire tablets, Fire TV, Alexa, mobile, Twitch, and more). We start with the customer and work backwards in everything we do, including advertising. If you’re interested in joining a rapidly growing team working to build a unique, highly respected advertising group with a relentless focus on the customer, you’ve come to the right place.
We’re looking for entrepreneurial and innovative individuals who thrive on solving tough problems. As a Senior Product Manager you will have ownership for an exciting advertising program, driving product strategy and delivery, metrics and data, customer experience, marketing, and advertiser experience. Core skill areas for this role include requirements gathering, feature prioritization, product launch and marketing, data collection and analytics. You will be expected to establish a vision and key priorities for the program, make appropriate trade-offs to optimize time-to-market, clearly communicate goals, roles, responsibilities, and desired outcomes to internal cross-functional and remote project teams.
The person in this role will be required to think big, dive deep, have a strong bias for action, and bring a history of delivering results to Amazon’s advertising solutions. You will leverage data and industry experience to make informed decisions and can advise and lead development teams / stakeholders who don’t have the same business context or customer perspective. It is a highly cross-functional role, engaging directly with customers of all sizes, fellow product managers and engineers across multiple development teams. Customer input and industry research are critical aspects to the role and will require working directly with external customers to collect input, mold requirements, and release features.
The right candidate will possess a strong product and program management background, have experience leading medium to large products and projects, and excel at written and verbal communications. A background in digital advertising and a well-rounded understanding of current web and mobile technologies will be significant plus-point. You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. This means anticipating bottlenecks, making tradeoffs and balancing the needs of the business versus technical constraints. You will be expected to have strong opinions about design and user experience, as well as the analytic background necessary to track adoption and performance of your program. You will be able to lead a program at scale, and participate/influence other senior leaders across the company future direction-setting.
Additionally, you will direct in-depth market, industry, and opportunity analysis, and will work with technology and business teams to define product requirements, understand customer needs, and define success metrics and performance tracking methods for product launches. Development, testing, and delivery is performed in partnership with dedicated design, engineering and business teams.
Tactically, the Senior Product Manager owns the roadmap and is responsible for executing on it. You set the product strategy, define use cases, analyze potential customer and financial implications, and ultimately choose the most promising path for your strategy. You drive prioritization across multiple development teams, communication with internal stakeholders, user testing with customers, the go to market plan with product marketing and the adoption plan with Sales.
