Working closely with product and business leaders across Amazon, you will define a bold 3-year vision for the future of Amazon's promotional experiences.

- Define and drive a multi-year technical strategy to evolve our promotional capabilities from manual configuration to full, agentic autonomy.
- Function as a 'leader of leaders,' mentoring and growing other managers and senior technical leaders within the organization.
- Champion the application of AI technologies, including Large Language Models (LLMs) and Reinforcement Learning, to solve complex challenges in offer curation, pricing, and presentation.
- Partner with senior business stakeholders to translate business goals into a cohesive roadmap that encompasses both customer-facing features and backend automation.
