What the job involves
- We are seeking an experienced and entrepreneurial Principal Product Manager-Technical to lead mission-critical monetization initiatives on Alexa and Alexa + that will shape how advertisers engage with customers across Amazon's advertising ecosystem
- Drive Strategic Product Vision: Define the 3-5 year product strategy and roadmap for key monetization initiatives across Alexa publisher properties. You'll work backwards from advertiser and publisher needs to create innovative solutions that unlock new demand channels and maximize revenue
- Lead Cross-Org Execution: Own end-to-end product lifecycle management, collaborating with engineering teams across Amazon to deliver integrated advertising solutions at scale
- Shape Advertiser Experience: Design and launch products that enable advertisers to reach hundreds of millions of customers across video, audio, and display inventory. You'll define technical requirements for ad serving, targeting, measurement, and reporting capabilities that meet advertiser objectives while maintaining exceptional customer experience
- Drive Business Impact: Own key business metrics including advertiser adoption, campaign performance, fill rates, and revenue growth. You'll establish mechanisms to measure success, identify optimization opportunities, and make data-driven decisions that drive significant P&L impact
- Navigate Technical Complexity: Partner with engineering leaders to evaluate technology trade-offs, assess emerging ad tech capabilities (including generative AI applications), and ensure our solutions scale to meet "think big" business goals. You'll need to understand ad serving architectures, programmatic advertising systems, and measurement frameworks
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.
