Product Manager, Localization
Amazon
DESCRIPTION
Are you passionate about innovating on behalf of Customers? Does working with latest AI and translation technologies excite you? Do you want to have a direct impact on how customers shop on Amazon across world-wide stores? Come join us!
Consumer Localization team is seeking an experienced Senior Product Manager to help define best-in-class localization experience for Amazon Customers and Selling Partners globally. You will define business and high-level technical requirements, execute projects, own prioritization, and also understand the impact of your proposals on customer experience and wider Amazon business. You will work closely with engineering, science and business leaders to set strategy, define priorities, and make the hard, high-judgment trade-offs between features and time-to-market.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-paced team, and is truly a cross-functional role where you’ll have significant responsibility and the ability to drive Amazon’s worldwide growth via technology.
Key job responsibilities
The ideal candidate will be passionate about improving Customer Shopping experience, with a track record of success in delivering products and services. They will have thrived and succeeded in delivering broadly adopted technology products/services in a very high growth environment where priorities shift quickly. They will use A/B testing when needed, have a solid judgement of one-way vs. two-way door decisions and will have an affinity towards iterating fast and releasing often. We are looking for a strong leader who can prioritize well, communicate clearly and compellingly and who understands how to drive a high level of focus and excellence with a strong, talented, opinionated team. This leader will have a strong track record of balancing innovative thinking with a strong customer and quality focus.
A day in the life
You will start some days diving deep into customer and selling partner feedback, analyzing data to uncover valuable insights that drive product decisions. Your morning might include a strategic planning session where you define product vision. By midday, you're leading a cross-functional team meeting, orchestrating inputs from engineers, applied scientists, and operations teams to evolve your product roadmap. After lunch, you're reviewing performance metrics of recently launched features, making data-driven decisions. The afternoon might see you whiteboarding scalable technical solutions with your engineering team, ensuring global applicability. You'll spend time validating quick experiments, embracing the fail-fast mentality to learn and iterate rapidly. Regular check-ins with stakeholders keep everyone aligned on progress and priorities. As the day wraps up, you're already planning for tomorrow's review of your product proposal (PR-FAQ) with Product and Finance leadership, always keeping customer experience at the forefront. It's a dynamic role where you'll constantly balance strategic thinking with tactical execution, all while maintaining a relentless focus on delivering value at scale.
