The posting
It’s no secret that Amazon relies on its technology to deliver millions of packages every day to its customers – on time, with low cost. The Middle Mile Supply and Routing Optimization team builds complex software solutions that work across our vendors, warehouses and carriers to optimize both time & cost of getting the packages delivered. Our services already handle thousands of requests per second, make business decisions impacting billions of dollars a year, integrate with a network of small and large carriers, owner operators and drivers worldwide, manage business rules for millions of unique products, and improve ordering and delivery experience for millions of online shoppers. That said, this remains a fast growing business and our technical journey has only started. Our mission is to build the most efficient and optimal transportation solution on the planet, using our technology and engineering muscle as our biggest advantage. We aim to leverage technologies in big data, machine learning, and optimization techniques, and operate high volume, low latency, and high availability services.
As a member of this collaborative team, you will have an opportunity to make an impact in Amazon Logistics and work with a group of talented program managers, product managers, research scientists, software developers, and business stakeholders to design the Amazon network of the future.
As a Sr Product Manager, you will operate at the crossroads of multiple complex Amazon systems, getting global visibility of how Amazon moves inventory across out network and serves our customers. Specifically, this role will be responsible for driving the delivery of technology features that enable our supply procurement optimization. This role will also own critical efficiency metrics that measure how well we utilize our capacity, where we have opportunities to expand, and how can we better manager our P&L. As a business owner you will be expected to monitor weekly metrics and callouts, direct and occasionally perform deep dives, generate product artifacts (strategy documents, BRD, Launch Plans), and contribute to monthly business reviews with VPs.
The successful candidate will be voraciously curious about Amazon’s transportation operations and how data consumed and produced by our systems can be used to improve outcomes and lower costs. Your responsibility is to expose and measure the current performance of our systems, find and quantify opportunities for improvement, and dive deep into existing algorithms to explain unexpected performance. We are looking for innovators to be a sophisticated user of data querying tools, and an expert at synthesizing and communicating insights and recommendations to audiences of varying levels of technical sophistication.
