Sr. Product Manager, WW Flex Safety

Amazon Product Managers (PMs) own their product's vision and are responsible for its success. They lead end-to-end product development, working backwards from customer opportunities through execution and launch, to driving adoption, and measuring impact. They serve as the critical intersection point amongst customer needs, business goals, and technical possibilities. Product Managers own the strategic direction of their product roadmap, delivering meaningful value to both customers and the business. They work through business model implications and product pricing to ensure products create sustainable value. They must hold an honest tension between customer and business value — always keeping focus on customer value. They drive critical product decisions by defining what to build, why it matters, when to deliver it, and how to measure success, ensuring those decisions are made in a timely manner. They gain customer insight through direct engagement. However, customer obsession doesn't mean doing exactly what customers say. It means understanding the underlying problem so deeply that you can solve it in ways customers haven't yet imagined. PMs go beyond stated requests to uncover unarticulated needs and invent novel ways to address them. They make judgment calls about which simplifications are acceptable and when a product is ready to ship versus when it is better to release something and start learning. They collaborate with every required functional area to deliver for the customer — engineering, science, design, finance, marketing, sales, legal, and operations. They think beyond their own product or feature — considering how their work fits within the broader portfolio of products and services their business unit offers. Failing to do so can lead to customer confusion, a fragmented experience, and diverging value propositions.
