Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate will couple strong business judgment with analytical skills to deliver processes, tools and mechanisms that address complex, Toys-specific often under-defined business problems
- Bachelor’s degree
- Professional experience managing project and analytical process in large organizations or consulting firms
- Fluent English both written and verbal
- Strong problem-solving skills with proven ability to structure and solve ambiguous business problems, defining clear paths forward in complex situations
- Experience with end-to-end product delivery
- Experience managing complex cross-functional, senior stakeholders
- Strong analytical acumen with proven ability to synthesize complex datasets into actionable business insights
- Proficiency in business intelligence and analytics tools, particularly Excel modeling and analysis and SQL
- Ability to manage a product roadmap effectively, with clear scope, timelines and prioritization
Desirable
- Expertise in retail vendor/ supplier management
- Experience in conceptualizing and implementing new metrics and data-driven frameworks
- Excellence in data visualization and communication, with a focus on creating accessible reporting frameworks for diverse audiences
- Proven experience in managing end-to-end pilot programs, including requirements gathering, success metric definition and communicating final business recommendations
- Quicksight development/optimization
What the job involves
- The EU Toys PM team serves as a strategic enabler for the category, focusing on complex, data-driven and often Toys-specific initiatives not addressed by Retail central teams
- Our mission centers on driving scalable solutions that improve business health through innovation, process excellence and team productivity
- Unlike SME roles, PM-led projects focus on less-defined problems, coordinate with central teams, and require advanced data analytics capabilities to uncover new insights and create scalable, automated solutions
- They will operate both at a strategic and tactical level, leveraging a strong commercial understanding to help shape the vision for the business while staying connected to the details and implementing solutions end-to-end
- Lead strategic initiatives across EU Toys' core business pillars (Profitability, Selection, Availability, and Deals), developing mechanisms to optimize business performance and improve the customer experience
- Focus on Toys-specific problems under served/unaddressed by central teams (e.g. seasonality, short product lifecycle, tail selection)
- Act as the interface between the Toys eam and key partner teams (e.g. Supply Chain, Direct Import)
- Audit the business regularly and proactively to uncover insights and improvement opportunities
- Be a champion of team productivity and drive automation and efficiency improvements across processes and workflows
- Identify opportunities to scale successful solutions beyond Toys to the broader organization
Our take
Amazon is the world's largest online retailer, and is well-known for its disruption of well-established industries. The company is present in numerous verticals, including cloud computing with Amazon Web Services, AI with its range of Alexa devices and a global marketplace more commonly referred to as 'the everything store'. Acquisitions include Ring, Twitch, Whole Foods Market, and IMDb.
More recently, Amazon has been focused on leading the "third wave in digital advertising". Many businesses are now shifting ad dollars to retailers, which before would have been spent with online media platforms. Amazon's seen great success in the space, with its revenue from advertising now higher than its Amazon Prime membership scheme, audiobooks and digital music combined. This growth is particularly impressive considering its digital ad rivals (like Snap, Alphabet, and Meta) have suffered declines due to wider macroeconomic factors and Apple's iOS privacy changes.
Despite its dominant market position, Amazon will continue to be challenged over the next decade, including sustaining AWS's cloud dominance in the face of Google and Microsoft. On top of this, the company's e-commerce division is facing profitability problems despite its 2023 post-IPO debt funding of 8 billion. It will need to find new ways to stay above their competitors.
