Description

Hundreds of millions of customers. Billions of products for sale. Billions of queries and billions of dollars in revenue. The scale and impact of Amazon Search is huge. The Amazon Search team creates powerful, customer-focused search solutions and technologies.

The Search Customer Experience team is responsible for the customer-facing features, information, and look & feel of search results on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices globally. Our Team lives within the Search Organization where we launch new products and innovation on a daily basis. Our team leverages sophisticated machine learning, data mining, and big data technologies to help customers discover the right products. We run usability studies and obsessively read customer feedback to improve our search experience. Within Amazon broadly we partner with category teams such as Apparel, Consumer Electronics, Books, and Grocery as well as key business partners such as Advertising, Alexa, and Video Shopping. Within Search we partner with the teams that power search relevance, query understanding, browse, and product recommendations.

You will work backwards from the customer to design an experience that uses customer engagement and query understanding data to define and address customer frustrations. You'll develop best practices for insights and KPIs to prove success. You will guide a team of product managers, software engineers, and scientists to deliver results. You will weigh technology alternatives and be comfortable with products using machine learning and AI generative content. You will have strong judgment and understand which opportunities drive the most strategic value for the business.

Key job responsibilities

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager-Technical to develop a new search customer experience that will help customers get inspired shopping time-sensitive events and exploring the latest trends on Amazon.

Candidates should have experience working in a fast paced environment, have strong bias for action, and be comfortable driving clarity from ambiguity. You will work with global teams - both internal Search customers, and external tech partners, to identify and prioritize needs, able to effectively influence up and across the organization, and adept at synthesizing a variety of technologies and capabilities into high quality search experiences customers love.
