You will have an enormous opportunity to impact the customer experience, design and architecture for a product that is used every day by people you know. We're looking for people who are passionate about innovating on behalf of customers, demonstrate a high degree of product ownership, and want to have fun while they make history.

The Role:
We're seeking a Principal Product Manager to work closely with our top partners to design and build new customer-facing experiences. In this role you will be responsible for managing the relationship with key partners and conceptualizing, scoping and delivering large projects end-to-end. Responsibilities include managing partner interactions, holding meetings with C-suite executives, developing forward looking strategic partner road maps, understanding/translating customer needs into business and systems requirements, driving project schedules from design to release and managing the production launch. You will be expected to make appropriate trade-offs to optimize time-to-market, clearly communicate goals, roles, responsibilities, and desired outcomes to internal and external teams. You will be frequently working with senior leadership within Amazon, so written and verbal skills are important.

The right candidate will possess a strong product background, have experience managing large partners, have experience launching large features, and have a well-rounded technical background.
