What the job involves
- We are looking for a seasoned product manager to drive the overarching strategy for our Advertising Identity program
- Amazon's Ad Tech business builds highly scalable infrastructure and tooling that handles billions of advertising queries every day and provides the foundation for Amazon’s rapidly growing advertising business
- As part of Ad Tech, the Advertising Identity program powers intelligent ad buying by developing the underlying id spine for programmatic advertising
- Our products help optimize performance and deliver personalized experiences in an ever-evolving privacy landscape, delivering ads when customers are listening to a podcast during their morning commute, shopping on the Amazon Store, or watching a movie on Prime Video
- We enable a suite of ads products, from planning, audience onboarding and delivery, reach and frequency forecasting, to data collaboration and measurement
- As the lead product manager, you will leverage your deep understanding of AdTech/MarTech space to “Invent and Simplify” and take our identity products to the next level
- You will work closely with our data platform and science team which process massive data sets to develop business intelligence and insights that are critical for the efficiency and profitability of our advertising business, and with our MLOps and engineering teams which package these insights into new identity product offerings

- Stakeholder Management: Interface with and influence your stakeholders across business, engineering, science, legal, privacy, and policy teams
- You will balance business needs vs. technical constraints in a privacy compliant way and drive clarity in ambiguous situations
- Thought Leader: Stay on top of trends in the advertising identity industry. Drive engagements with other AdTech companies and industry bodies, positioning Amazon Advertising as a leader in this space
- Role Model and Mentor: Support the skill and career development of junior members of the team. Educate stakeholders how to best leverage our identity suite for their use cases
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.
