Full Job Description
Senior Product Manager (Technical)
Do you love to read? Are you inspired by how to make written content easy and delightful to consume on Kindle? If the answer is yes, you have the opportunity to inspire millions of customers to read more. Kindle is among the bestselling products in the history of Amazon, with a rich legacy for driving customer-focused innovation. Our continued growth requires leaders who operate both strategically and tactically; think big to drive new opportunities; dive deep in data to uncover customer insights; break down and solve complex problems; and drive operational excellence.
This position is for our Kindle Content Experience team, whose mission is to provide superior reading experience for all eBooks on Kindle devices and applications by partnering with publishers and authors. We strive to build and enhance mechanisms to enable publishers and authors create eBooks with the right layouts, typography and fonts for a great and coherent experience across devices.
As a Senior Product Manager (Technical), you will define, execute, and deliver a product roadmap with the goal of earning the trust of our publishers and authors to deliver the best experience for our reading customers. You will strongly influence the strategy and vision for the group. You will develop and look after product roadmaps and features based on team strategy and vision. This role is inherently cross-functional -- you will work closely with engineering, business, operations, vendor management and executive teams to launch features and build tools and mechanisms. A successful candidate will be highly analytical, able to work extremely effectively in a matrix organization, and adept at synthesizing a variety of technologies and capabilities into high quality, simple product, features and applications.
