About the team
When customers shop online, handling the delivered package is their first physical contact with the order. The MSP organization works backwards from this customer experience to deploy packaging technologies that harmonize with Amazon’s priorities on safety, productivity, sustainability, regulatory risk, and cost. We develop mechanisms to match our expanding product catalog to the finite set of boxes available in our fulfillment centers (FCs). We own initiatives that replace traditional corrugate boxes with less wasteful options, including flexible pack types (padded and unpadded) and forgoing Amazon packaging altogether (“Ship In Product Packaging”, SIPP). We design and deploy automated packing technologies across our network, to augment labor productivity and eliminate safety hazards by reducing manual work. Lastly, we are the source of packaging information for various internal stakeholders, including forecasts for operational/financial planning, and positioning for public corporate communications (e.g., shareholder disclosures).

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

– Bachelor’s degree
– Experience owning/driving roadmap strategy and definition
– 8+ years of end to end product delivery experience
– Experience technical product management
– Experience in technical product management, program management or engineering

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

– Experience working directly with Engineers on product enhancements
– Experience in project management methodologies, business analysis, or process improvement
