Buy with Prime is helping people reimagine the way they shop, wherever they do! Our vision is to enable every entrepreneur in the world to reach every customer in the world through every channel they can imagine. Buy with Prime is a new way to extend Prime shopping benefits-including fast, free shipping, a seamless checkout experience, and free returns-to merchants’ own online stores, ultimately increasing selection for Prime members. For over 20 years, Amazon has been empowering small and medium-sized businesses with opportunities to grow. Buy with Prime is an exciting next step in our mission to help merchants of all sizes grow their business-whether on Amazon or beyond.
The Buy with Prime core features team is bringing Prime retail experiences and fulfillment solutions to our merchants and their customers, beyond the boundaries of Amazon.com. As we rapidly scale to serve our off-Amazon customers, we need a Principal Technical Program Manager (PTPM) that can work across our organization and stakeholders, with both strategic and tactical vision. We are building products that are fundamental to Amazon’s future, and we are tackling some of the world’s most intriguing problems involving software architecture design, customer experience, and business strategy.
As a Principal Technical Program Manager, you will ensure the teams are delivering the highest quality products and services predictably while meeting the technical needs of our community. You will guide both strategy and tactical decision-making to deliver complex cross-team programs. As well as partner with program managers to help support the strategic deliverables while working with engineering to support important technical efforts.
The role will require constant balance between long term product vision along with addressing immediate needs, driving an incremental approach that is metrics and data driven. It will require communicating effectively with leaders across Director and VP level on a regular basis while ensuring that the teams are aligned and stakeholders are aware of key performance indicators.
The role is a hybrid of having deep technical knowledge and being instinctive on how Buy with Prime should function as a business along with a deep technical understanding of how to make these changes happen via a distributed domain services approach. It will require building and overseeing products that work beyond Amazon.com wherever our merchants and shoppers can benefit from our Prime product and fulfillment services.
