    Description

    Amazon Freight is building the planning system that connects how we sell to how we perform, and we are hiring a Senior Product Manager to own it. You will build the models that turn cost, pricing, and commercial inputs into a Finance-aligned view of revenue, cost, margin, and volume across our multi-modal freight business.

    This is a builder"s product role. You will own end-to-end multi-modal planning and P&L execution and attainment. You will build the models yourself, partner closely with Business Intelligence for the durable data layer, and work with planners who own models across our freight segments and modes. If you pair a planning or finance analyst"s rigor with a product owner"s instinct for what to build next, this role is for you.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own the vision, roadmap, and priorities for Amazon Freight"s end-to-end multi-modal planning system - the models and algorithms that produce the plan.
    • Incorporate cost, pricing, commercial, and volume inputs into the models and produce reliable, explainable outputs at a Finance-aligned grain.
    • Own P&L execution and attainment, explain variance, and drive Path-to-Green actions with business owners.
    • Build and run the models directly; partner with Business Intelligence and the planning team on a durable, documented data and query layer others can run.
    • Work across a multi-stakeholder input chain spanning Sales, Pricing, Cost/Supply, Finance, and business owners; validate inputs before they enter the plan.
    • Own the annual and quarterly planning submissions; explain the plan, its variance, and attainment to leadership and partner teams.
    • Reason from first principles and use data and judgment to decide what to build next.

    A day in the life

    You start in the models - checking an input that just landed, tracing how it flows through the plan, and validating it before it enters the model. You align an assumption with Pricing and a figure with Sales, then work with a Business Intelligence engineer on the query layer behind a planning model. You sit with a planner who built a model and fold it into the system. In the afternoon, you walk leadership through a variance, the driver, and the actions needed to attain the P&L. Your customers are the planning team, Finance, and the business owners who rely on the plan.

    About the team

    Amazon Freight"s P&L Management team owns the planning that connects commercial ambition to financial performance across our multi-modal freight business. We own the planning assumptions, consume and audit the inputs that feed the plan, and produce the Finance-aligned view of revenue, cost, margin, and volume. We also drive execution and attainment against the committed P&L. We are a small, high-ownership team that values plain speaking, first-principles thinking, and building things others can rely on.

    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.
