DESCRIPTION

Amazon Advertising operates at the intersection of e-commerce and advertising, offering a rich array of advertising solutions with the goal of helping our consumers find and discover anything they want to buy. We help advertisers reach Amazon customers with a variety of consumer touch points including Amazon.com, the Kindle tablet, our owned and operated sites, and other high quality sites across the web. 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, world-class advertising group with a relentless focus on the customer, you've come to the right place.

The right candidate will possess excellent business and communication skills, be able to work with business owners to develop and define key business questions, and be able to build out appropriate models to answer those questions. The right candidate will also have experience leading analytical projects that help define and guide key new initiatives, customer experience and program improvements.
As a Program Manager, you will play a leadership role in our team - the team will look to you for advice on analytical and business issues facing them. You are right, a lot. You get a lot done. You work very efficiently and routinely deliver the right things. You will have a department-wide view of the analytical solutions that you build, and you will consistently think in terms of automating or expanding the results company-wide. This PM will be expected to develop solutions to business problems that utilize the highest standards of analytical rigor and data integrity. He or she will develop analyses (whether fully formed or exploratory) for the business' sake, not for analyses' sake.
As a Program Manager you will be working in one of the world's largest and most complex data warehouse environments. You should be passionate about working with huge data sets and be someone who loves to bring data sets together to answer business questions. You should have deep expertise in creation and management of data sets and the proven ability to translate data into meaningful insights. In this role, you will have ownership of end-to-end development of solutions to complex questions, and you'll play an integral role in strategic decision-making.
Our environment is very fast-paced, and requires someone who is flexible, detail-oriented, passionate about the customer and comfortable working with numerous stakeholders across the organization and worldwide in an environment that has a considerable amount of ambiguity.
A successful candidate should have deep experience in being able to think of ways to understand the business needs while creating, and defining systems and processes to support growth. He/she should be able to juggle competing projects, define the road maps to support the business functions and work with the teams to solve complex problems.

• Develop, implement or maintain existing process and programs as needed throughout the year.
• Meet regularly with partners that include, but are not limited to, finance, product teams, sales and sales management to review the status of the business and collaborate on new methods and tools that can improve the efficiency of our organization and improve the level of service we provide our customers.
