Principal Product Manager - Tech, FBA
Amazon
Product
Bellevue, WA, USA
Posted on Dec 21, 2024
DESCRIPTION
Since 2000, Amazon has made its virtual shelf space available to third-party sellers, enabling them to reach hundreds of millions of customers, build their brands, and grow their business. Amazon’s Worldwide Selling Partner Services (SPS) is an accelerator for these independent businesses to grow and develop, enabling every brand – from the small business with an idea to the large, multi-national corporation – to thrive and grow into a global selling success. Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) was foundational to this mission when it launched in 2006. At the time, the process of receiving a customer order, packaging it, dropping it off for delivery, and doing all of this fast was operationally intense. FBA gave sellers the option to outsource order fulfillment, customer service, and handling returns to Amazon so they could spend more time inventing amazing products for customers. Since then, Amazon has launched more services to support sellers’ broader supply chain needs, including Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD) and Supply Chain By Amazon (SCA).
We are re-imagining key components of the Amazon supply chain services, such as inbounding to Amazon, as we broaden their reach to new customer types and evolve our network to meet diverse seller needs. We are looking for strategic and innovative leaders to be in the driving seat for this journey.
