    Description

    Drive the strategy for how Prime Video becomes the one place customers go to stream all of their favorite content - movies, TV, sports and news. It"s a big, unsolved problem, and you"ll help shape the answer.

    You"ll live in the data and the financials - sizing what"s worth chasing, pressure-testing offers, and turning that into sharp proposals that influence leadership and drive roadmaps. This is a role for a self-starter who"s comfortable with ambiguity: nobody hands you a playbook, you build it. You"ll work across strategy, partnerships, product, engineering, marketing and legal to connect the dots and make the case for where we place our bets, then see your thinking show up in the product.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Shape the strategy. Develop channel aggregation and offer strategy, bringing clarity and vision to ambiguous questions.
    • Own the analysis. Dig into the customer behaviors, market opportunities and financials to size opportunities, model offer constructs, and figure out which bets are actually worth making - and which aren"t.
    • Write to influence. Author sharp, well-reasoned proposals and narratives that influence leadership to get initiatives funded and prioritized.
    • Drive the roadmap. Translate your findings into requirements for content acquisitions, product and engineering, and push for the alignment needed to bring them to life.
    • Work across the org. Collaborate with partnerships, marketing, product, engineering, and legal to pressure-test ideas and build consensus around where we place our bets.
    • Benchmark the market. Track competitor and partner apps, pull in industry insight, and use it to inform forward-looking initiatives.
    • See it through. Follow initiatives from proposal to launch, keeping leaders informed on progress, trade-offs, and results along the way.

    A day in the life

    Your customers are the tens of millions of customers deciding where to stream their favorite content - and the channel partners who want scaled, profitable distribution. On any given day, you"re deep in the data sizing an opportunity, writing out the investment thesis, in the room stakeholders pressure-testing an offer idea or driving requirements and implementation. You"ll benchmark the industry one morning, model financials the next, and draft a proposal in between. Expect ambiguity, high expectations and the satisfaction of watching a big bet turn into something customers actually use.

    About Company

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.
