Conversational shopping is challenging the traditional paradigm of performance advertising. Within the Advertiser Growth & Strategies team for Sponsored Products and Brands, we are delivering new ad products and features that help our advertisers adapt, scale, and succeed in this shifting landscape.

We are looking for a Principal Product Manager - Technical to rethink our advertiser-facing processes, features, and controls, setting the foundations for accelerated growth. This is a high-autonomy, high-ambiguity role that demands deep Ad Tech expertise, hands-on experience building customer-facing Gen AI products, and the ability to influence across organizational boundaries.

Key job responsibilities

  • Define and drive the long-term product vision for advertiser controls and campaign management as shopper behavior shifts toward conversational commerce
  • Rethink how advertisers create, manage, and optimize campaigns - leveraging advances in large language models and generative AI to deliver intelligent, adaptive experiences
  • Collaborate with ad and retail leadership to ensure advertising products enhance both the advertiser and the shopper experience, driving with backbone when trade-offs require it
  • Make high-judgment product decisions in complex, ambiguous environments with incomplete information
  • Drive consensus across engineers, scientists, designers, and senior leadership, delivering through influence with and without authority
  • Deeply understand our technical systems, their constraints, and downstream dependencies to identify the right trade-offs
  • Work backward from customer problems to define solutions that serve both advertisers and shoppers
  • Stay at the frontier of Gen AI and LLM capabilities, translating emerging research into practical product opportunities

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
