Job description

Are you excited about shaping products that reach millions of customers? Do you thrive at the intersection of technology and customer experience, turning ambiguity into clear product direction? As a Product Manager III, Technical at Amazon, you will own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for products with considerable scope and complexity. You will work backward from customer needs to define what gets built and why, partnering closely with engineering, design, and cross-functional teams to deliver meaningful outcomes. This role puts you at the center of product decisions where your judgment, technical curiosity, and data-driven mindset will directly influence how customers interact with Amazon's products and services.

Key job responsibilities

• Define product vision, strategy, and roadmap by working backward from customer needs, writing clear PR/FAQs and problem statements, and aligning stakeholders on priorities and trade-offs.
• Drive product execution end-to-end - from requirements and design through launch and post-launch performance monitoring - partnering with engineering, design, and science teams to deliver high-quality customer experiences.
• Leverage data analysis, customer research, and market insights to define success criteria, identify the highest-leverage metrics, and inform prioritization decisions across your product area.
• Collaborate across functional areas including marketing, sales, legal, finance, and operations to build alignment, influence without authority, and ensure coordinated delivery for the customer.
• Evaluate technical proposals and architecture decisions for strengths, trade-offs, and long-term implications, and apply generative AI capabilities where appropriate to accelerate development and unlock new forms of innovation.

A day in the life

You start by reviewing product metrics and customer feedback to spot emerging patterns. Mid-morning, you join a design review to refine an upcoming feature's user experience, then shift into a sprint planning session with your engineering team to discuss trade-offs and unblock dependencies. After lunch, you draft a product brief for a new initiative, pressure-testing your assumptions with data before sharing it with cross-functional partners. You close out by connecting with stakeholders to align on upcoming milestones and ensure your roadmap reflects the latest customer insights.
