Description
Amazon Sponsored Products is a world class advertising business. We are responsible for defining and delivering a collection of advertising tools that drive shopper discovery and advertiser growth. Our Rules products are strategically important to our advertisers. Rules enable advertiser to take actions on their campaigns based on product, shopper, and performance signals, while still letting advertisers tailor their budgeting, targeting, and bidding strategies to their advertising objectives. We support the Rules experience with helpful recommendations and explainability driven by cutting edge science (Deep Learning, LLM/GenAI, Optimzation).

We are highly motivated, collaborative and fun-loving with an entrepreneurial spirit and bias for action. We have an ever-expanding charter that is grounded by working backwards from our customers. We're looking for an innovative and customer-obsessed Principal Product Manager who will obsess over the details to deliver products with next-level quality and performance. You will define product vision and drive execution for products and features related to strategy-based automation of advertising. You will engage with advertisers, integrators, and partner teams to help formulate your vision, and define the features, goals and metrics that drive a substantial science and engineering team to turn your vision into product. You will tackle challenging problems and coordinate high profile projects across multiple teams to ensure our goals are met. You will use customer anecdotes to find inspiration, and data analysis to confirm your suspicions. You'll contribute to the organizational planning for one of the largest advertising programs on the planet, present to senior executives. You will evangelize your vision and promote your wins to build your reputation as a leader.
