What are the responsibilities and job description for the Principal Product Manager - Speed, Amazon Shipping position at Amazon?
Description
Amazon Shipping is building Amazon's next $100B business. Delivery speed options are how we meet customers where they are and expand what shippers can offer. Some customers need packages tomorrow. Others optimize for cost and can wait. You own the portfolio that serves both ends and everything in between: premium air for urgent shipments, economy ground for price-sensitive customers, and the service tiers we haven't built yet.
As a Principal Product Manager, you drive the decisions around which speed products launch, influence how they're priced, and where we invest to improve. Your choices shape the experience for millions of deliveries.
You dissect operational data, validate assumptions with active shippers, and direct significant investments with precision. When opportunities surface, you mobilize teams across Amazon to capture value. When initiatives falter, you make swift, clear-headed decisions to reallocate resources.
This role demands a builder who thrives in uncharted territory. You turn complex datasets into actionable insights, make high-stakes decisions with imperfect information, and align senior stakeholders behind bold visions. Your judgment balances timelines with calculated risk: moving fast while betting on validated opportunities.
Your impact reaches every package we deliver. Each successful initiative unlocks new revenue streams and expands what customers can accomplish with Amazon Shipping.
Key job responsibilities
We are NOVA and we incubate and scale revenue-generating businesses for Amazon Shipping. Our technical product organization transforms strategic initiatives into scalable products, captures enterprise customers through customized solutions, and enables broad adoption through integrator platforms and API infrastructure.
Innovation meets execution in our daily work. We build for two audiences: external customers (shippers, integrators, recipients) who expect reliability, trust, and innovation, and internal stakeholders who expect results, predictability, and coordination.
