Amazon • Seattle, WA

20h

About The Position

Amazon has co-founded and signed The Climate Pledge, a commitment to reach net zero carbon by 2040. In alignment with this bold corporate goal, the Amazon Devices & Services organization is looking for a Principal Product Manager to invent and deliver products for a zero carbon future. As a team, we leverage AI, sensors, smart home devices, cloud services, material science, and Alexa to build products that have a meaningful impact for customers and the climate. This position requires owning a new portfolio of products end-to-end, in-depth technical knowledge of complex software and AI solutions, an analytical and data driven approach, and demonstrated experience successfully building and launching loveable customer facing products and services. This role is fast-paced and highly collaborative - we therefore seek candidates who thrive in ambiguous environments and enjoy balancing quick decision making with cross-functional deep dives. You will work backwards from the customer to define the problem(s) we are trying to solve, desired customer experience, vision, tenets, product strategy, and requirements. You will communicate a compelling product vision and drive innovative product concepts from idea to launch. You can deliver the right product solutions independently, with limited guidance. You are able to operate at multiple levels, and are equally comfortable deep diving into complex architectures and technical solutions to influence technical trade-offs with engineering and scientists as you are designing wireframes and building financial models. Experience in the sustainability space is a plus but not required. The ideal candidate will have experience leading a new or existing customer device from concept to release, proven ability to develop strategic vision based on the customer, and excellent verbal and written communication skills with senior leaders across all stakeholders. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, know how to deliver, are deeply technical, highly innovative, and long for the opportunity to build pioneering solutions to highly impactful challenging problems, we look forward to talking to you.
