DESCRIPTION
As part of the AWS Solutions organization, we have a vision to provide business applications, leveraging Amazon’s unique experience and expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers’ businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon’s real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use.
Amazon Connect is an easy-to-use cloud contact center service that helps companies of any size deliver superior customer engagement at lower cost. Amazon Connect agent scheduling helps Connect customers forecast future workloads, determine how many agents are needed, and what shifts and schedules they should work - all so the contact center has the right number of agents at the right times to deliver on operational goals and hit the budget.
We're looking for a Principal Product Manager who's inspired to deliver direct & massive positive impact on Amazon's customers, and disrupt existing industries. Our Principal Product Managers have end-end ownership over a significant technical product. We expect you to dive deep into the technology from both a product and customer perspective. Customers may include developers, IT departments, or enterprise CIOs from the world’s best companies. To succeed, you will have technical acumen and a passion for both technology and business.
From day 1, you will be responsible for a large product and have the autonomy to think strategically and make data-driven decisions to drive innovative solutions. Our successful Principal Product Managers will be exposed to multiple businesses/products, and will grow into senior executives who independently run large business segments and organizations. This product will serve a complex ecosystem of users and companies that interact with each other, leveraging data insights and machine learning.
