Job description

We're on a mission to rewrite the rules of eCommerce by giving customers entirely new ways to engage with Amazon. With AI, we're unlocking the potential to turn information into useful knowledge, making it easier for customers to find exactly what they're looking for and get things done. We are working backwards from a vision of conversational, contextual, and interactive experience that helps customers find answers to product questions, perform product comparisons, receive product suggestions, and more -- in a store that sells everything.

Introducing: Rufus! Rufus is Amazon’s expert shopping assistant trained on Amazon’s product catalog and information from across the web to answer customer questions on shopping needs, products, and comparisons, make recommendations based on this context, and facilitate product discovery in the same Amazon shopping experience customers use regularly.

We are seeking a Principal Product Mgr - Tech, to own the vision, development, launch, and continuous improvement of AI-powered features in Amazon Rufus. Specifically, in this role you will be responsible for creating new and unique multimodal and visual shopping experiences. You will work with talented scientists, engineers, UX designers, program managers, and product managers to innovate on behalf of our customers. The right person has deep technical knowledge, a high level of customer obsession, is comfortable with a high level of ambiguity, has a strong demonstrated ability to build repeatable and scalable processes, and is an independent operator skilled at aligning resources and working cross-team to deliver on behalf of our customers.

Key job responsibilities

1. Define and build a vision for the next generation of AI-powered experiences on Amazon. This includes drafting documents that work backwards from our customers (PR-FAQ style) to describe key objectives, execution strategies, goals, and solutions. You will own annual and quarterly plans, feature requirements, resourcing asks, and more.
2. Partner with stakeholders to design and align on roadmaps and goals. You will define and maintain a prioritized backlog, working closely with the development teams to understand feasibility and technical approach for each item.
3. You will write feature requirements, review technical designs, and work across teams to craft disruptive solutions for complex problems.
4. Define and execute various strategies for collecting user research and customer feedback. You will leverage both quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate launch readiness and identify areas to improve.
5. You will evaluate technology trends to define a roadmap of features that delights our customers.
6. Build and execute a go-to-market strategy for new features.
