About The Position

Are you Interested in helping customers leverage the power of distributed big
data technologies? Come join us on the AWS Analytics team.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a seasoned product manager to help us
define innovative new features and address new opportunities for open-source big
data applications, data science, and analytics.

In this role, you will have ownership over key initiatives in Analytics'
long-term product vision, feature definition, pricing, sales enablement, and
marketing. You should be customer obsessed and enjoy engaging with and helping
all types of customers ranging from executives and Fortune 100 companies to
developers at early-stage startups. You should also be comfortable working in a
fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment with fast delivery time, rapid
iteration, and data-driven decision-making. The right candidate will bring a
good mix of experience with big data technologies, product management skill set,
and a roll-up-your-sleeves, entrepreneurial approach.

We are looking for a candidate that is obsessed with delivering the most
customer-centric experience on the planet, showing proven success in ownership,
bias for action, and thinking big. This leader will need to exhibit excellent
judgment, prioritizing between existing versus new customers and between
features, architectural improvements, and operational excellence. We are looking
for strong business owners who are comfortable sharing their vision with AWS
senior leadership, but also working closely with engineering teams to dive deep
into details to make ideas into reality.

You’re a good fit if:
- You can think big, are able to break down the big picture, and deliver on
goals that will get us there.
- You have an instinctive understanding of a good product, and can raise the bar
on customer-focused thinking among team members with reasoned analysis.
- You can dive into technical details and ask engineers insightful questions
about the services and dependencies you influence.
- You can think long-term, can balance conflicting interests, and converge on
outcomes that earn trust and customer loyalty.
We need a passionate product management leader who dives deep and has shown
demonstrated success in building strong business cases, managing high-growth,
successful product launches, and driving customer success.
