The Sr. Product Manager Technical (PMT) role at Amazon is a pivotal position that focuses on optimizing the Supply Chain for the Amazon Private Brands business. This role is particularly significant due to the unique supply chain requirements that Amazon Private Brands has compared to Amazon's Core Retail business. Given that Amazon Private Brands operates in an imports-heavy environment, it faces challenges such as long lead times and the necessity for direct supplier relationships. This means that orders must be placed 3-6 months in advance of actual customer demand, which adds complexity to inventory management. If products go out of stock, it can take several months to replenish, resulting in lost sales. Therefore, accurately forecasting and buying the right quantities is crucial. In this high-visibility role, the Sr. PMT will have the opportunity to drive significant cost savings and contribute to substantial topline growth. The position requires a strong technical product manager who possesses deep analytical and technical skills, a strong bias for action, and the ability to unite cross-functional stakeholders to achieve common goals. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to advocate for various critical customers and stakeholders during executive-level prioritization and planning. The team is dedicated to building science and technology solutions that enhance decision-making in the Amazon Private Brands Supply Chain. This includes making informed choices about supplier sourcing, determining optimal order quantities, and balancing inventory health to minimize storage costs while avoiding lost sales due to understocking. The role is ideal for high-performing internal candidates looking to advance their careers by tackling complex supply chain challenges alongside talented scientists and engineers.
