About The Position

Amazon's Advertising Technology team builds the technology infrastructure to
manage billions of advertising queries every day. The result is better quality
advertising for publishers and more relevant ads for customers. In this
organization you'll experience the benefits of working in a dynamic,
entrepreneurial environment, while leveraging the resources of Amazon.com
(AMZN), one of the world's leading companies.

Amazon Publisher Services (APS) helps publishers of all sizes and on all
channels better monetize their content through effective advertising. APS unites
publishers with advertisers across devices and media channels. We work with
Amazon teams across the globe to solve complex problems for our customers. The
end results are Amazon products that let publishers focus on what they do best -
publishing.

APS is revolutionizing live sports advertising with high-performance ad
technology and real-time optimization across the world's biggest sporting
events. We're building the next generation of infrastructure for live
sports—tackling millisecond-critical decisioning at Amazon scale while
delivering effective monetization for publishers and relevant ads for viewers.

As a Principal Product Manager - Tech, you will be the strategic product leader
responsible for establishing a multi-year product vision for our live sports
solution. You will define how we transform the supply landscape for live sports
advertising: identifying and onboarding premium publishers and broadcasters,
designing innovative supply products that differentiate our solution, and
building technical capabilities that unlock superior advertiser performance. You
will own the product strategy and roadmap, develop compelling experiences that
attract and retain high-quality live sports publishers, and drive global supply
growth.

This role requires deep technical understanding of infrastructure, server-side
ad insertion, programmatic auction mechanics, and real-time bidding at scale.
You will work closely with engineering, demand-side teams, and publisher
development to drive adoption and optimize outcomes across the advertising
stack.

A successful candidate brings strategic product vision with a relentless focus
on supply-side innovation. You thrive in ambiguity while delivering concrete
results, lead through influence at all levels, and bring technical depth to
transform complex supply challenges into breakthrough product solutions. You can
identify unmet publisher needs, develop sophisticated growth strategies, and
drive roadmaps that balance near-term publisher wins with long-term
transformation of the live sports advertising experience.
