Join Amazon's Worldwide Promotions team and drive the transformation of Amazon's global promotions experience. Our team is at the forefront of developing innovative promotional technologies that reach millions of customers every day and drive significant business impact across Amazon.

In this Sr. TPM role, you'll lead high impact, cross-team and cross-org customer-facing initiatives that will transform how, when, and where we show promotions to Amazon's customers. This will include new, highly personalized and inspiring promotional experiences that are used by millions of customers worldwide, and partner initiatives built on top of promotions core services and primitives. Additionally, you'll work closely with our product and tech teams, internal partners, and international marketplaces to build one consolidated, global promotions CX roadmap, while ensuring that we have the right support and operating mechanisms to deliver and communicate on progress across teams.
