Are you excited to work at the intersection of hardware devices and AI assistant? We are redefining the Alexa customer experience by creating the next-generation of AI-based technology that will radically change how people interact with devices. As part of that work, we are also transforming our business model and rethinking how we sell Echo devices to millions of customers each year worldwide, which is work led by the Alexa/Echo Device Sales team. We are seeking a customer-obsessed, experienced Senior Product Manager to lead sales and marketing for Echo devices. If you have passion for tech and commercial strategy, come build with us.

Key job responsibilities

As a Senior Product Manager, you will lead the Sales strategy for a subset of Echo products and work with a cross-functional team including product development, demand planning, in-stock, finance, retailers, merchandising, and advertising to develop and execute a multi-year plan to grow the Echo business. You will be a critical part of the team and develop annual, quarterly, and monthly sales strategies to maximize unit sales as well as profit and revenue. You'll identify new market opportunities and creative ways to showcase AI value. You will also establish and execute competitive pricing and promotions on Amazon.com and at offline retailers (i.e., Best Buy, Target). You will manage inventory to ensure clean product transitions from one generation to the next. This is a highly visible position that will interact at multiple levels of the company, and has frequent opportunities to present to senior leadership.

A day in the life

In this role, you will manage a sizable portion of the Echo P&L, which requires strong business acumen and high judgement. You will lead and deliver short and long term results through thoughtful strategy and excellent execution. You will report on business health to the most senior leaders in Devices & Services through weekly and monthly mechanisms. The ideal candidate excels at customer obsession, ownership, invent & simplify, and dive deep, has experience operating under constant change and persistent pressure to deliver results. You will navigate ambiguity and can adjust a forecast or strategy when the tech evolves quick. You will be comfortable turning complex data sets into clear, executive-ready narratives that influence our roadmap and investment.

About the Company

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.
