    Job Description

    As a Principal PM, you will define and own the strategic vision and multi-year roadmap for the Shipper Support Experience in the Amazon Shipping organization. This leader owns support end-to-end across three customer segments: prospective shippers evaluating Amazon Shipping, active shippers running daily operations, and recipients resolving delivery issues. The role"s strategic thesis is to make support costs scale sublinearly with volume by eliminating contacts at their root cause, deflecting routine inquiries through self-service and AI, and equipping associates with tooling that resolves the remaining contacts in a single interaction. You will work closely with stakeholders from Support Operations, Partner Product Charters, Sales, and Operations Leadership to make support a strategic differentiator rather than a cost center on Amazon Shipping"s path to profitability.

    The ideal candidate has a strong background in customer support and contact center products (Paragon, Amazon Connect, Salesforce Service Cloud, Zendesk or Genesys), combined with a solid understanding of current technologies (GenAI agents, conversational AI, chatbots, APIs, mobile). S/he can develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives across a multi-year horizon, but also roll up their sleeves, dig into contact-driver data, and get the job done. Maturity, strong business judgment, ability to influence cross-functional and remote teams, a customer-centric and analytical mindset, and comfort operating at the intersection of product, operations, and finance are essential. This opportunity requires excellent product management, prioritization, and executive communication skills, as well as the ability to navigate ambiguity across three distinct customer segments and multiple support channels.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Define the strategic vision and own the long-term roadmap for the Shipper Support Experience across all three customer segments (pre-login leads, active shippers, recipients) and across all support surfaces (self-service, chatbot, live chat, phone, email, associate workbench)
    • Own the contact reduction P&L: build the mechanism that ties support contacts per shipment to root causes in partner product charters (Onboarding, Digital Experience, Communications, Pickup Experience, Under the Roof, API/Account Configurations) and influence those teams to fix defects at the source
    • Set the GenAI strategy for support: define the roadmap for AI-powered self-service, associate copilot, and predictive contact avoidance, working with engineering to integrate these into the broader ecosystem
    • Define user stories and product requirements while contributing to the technical design of new support platform capabilities, self-service tooling, and associate tools
    • Engage with stakeholders to prioritize features and drive go-to-market strategies while making appropriate trade-offs between deflection, resolution quality, associate productivity, and time-to-market
    • Influence executive leadership across Amazon Shipping Product, Tech, and Operations on the multi-year investment case for support transformation; reframe the internal narrative from cost center to strategic differentiator
    • Represent the Shipper Support Experience in leadership reviews, OP1/OP2 planning, and cross-Amazon forums where support strategy intersects with Retail, AWS, and other Amazon support organizations
    • Display self-starter mentality and the ability to dive below the surface, working directly with contact-driver data to uncover the "so what" rather than just the symptoms
    • Up to 10% travel (including periodic visits to Costa Rica and other support sites)

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
