Principal Product Manager – Technical, Global Seller Services – Consumer – USA, WA, Seattle

Amazon

  • Full Time

DESCRIPTION

Are you interested in leading and developing strategic initiatives for one of Amazon’s most significant and fastest growing businesses? The Amazon Store enables over 4 million third-party sellers in nineteen Stores to list their products for sale to Amazon customers. Sellers offer hundreds of millions of unique products and are a critical part of Amazon’s ecosystem to deliver on our vision of offering the Earth’s largest selection and lowest prices.

Excerpt from 2019 Q1 shareholder letter: “Something strange and remarkable has happened over the last 20 years. Take a look at these numbers:1999 3% …… 2018 58%. The % represent the share of physical gross merchandise sales sold on Amazon by independent third-party sellers – mostly small- and medium-sized businesses – as opposed to Amazon retail’s own first party sales. Third-party sales have grown from 3% of the total to 58%. … We helped independent sellers compete against our first-party business by investing in and offering them the very best selling tools we could imagine and build. There are many such tools, including tools that help sellers manage inventory, process payments, track shipments, create reports, and sell across borders – and we’re inventing more every year.”

We are seeking a Sr. Product Manager-Tech to lead and coordinate key strategic global products aimed at accelerating third-party Sellers performance by introducing customized recommendations to help them grow their business across Stores and regions. He/she will work on developing the product strategy and vision, outlining business requirements for a scalable solution, and overseeing the implementation, launch (go-to-market) and post-launch product performance. He/she will also work on fostering alignment across central and regional teams, and local business models, to ensure a consistent experience to Sellers globally. You will work closely with the International Seller Services Tech and Science teams to develop the product.
You are highly analytical, business savvy, resourceful, and restlessly curious. You are comfortable thinking big, diving deep and have a passion for using data in order to drive business decisions, diving below the surface to identify the root cause and the “so what”; you enjoy working on ambiguous problems that require collaboration across regions and you appreciate working in a team comprised of people of diverse geographical and cultural backgrounds; you are at ease in working in a complex environment and are not fazed by shifting priorities and evolving requirements.
