As we increase density and reach, we're revolutionizing shipping for ALL businesses while simultaneously strengthening Amazon's own delivery capabilities-reducing costs and accelerating deliveries across our entire ecosystem.

What will you do?

We're hiring a Principal Product Manager to transform our payments experiences and credit risk management for Amazon Shipping. This role requires deep financial product expertise, risk management acumen, and a passion for crafting innovative, customer-centric solutions that simultaneously enhance shipper satisfaction and fortify our financial health. You'll drive product strategy that powers intuitive payment and refund experiences while building sophisticated credit assessment frameworks that protect Amazon Shipping from bad debt exposure. Your work will create systems that balance payment flexibility with intelligent risk controls, enabling rapid business growth while maintaining financial discipline.

You're a strong owner, think big, and have demonstrated success defining payment and credit products that drive quantifiable improvements in both customer satisfaction and financial performance in high-growth environments.
