Description

Amazon is the world's largest online retailer, offering a wide range of products and services to millions of customers globally. Our team is responsible for building a healthy pipeline of new sellers and valuable selection into our stores, while driving onboarding and education to help sellers unlock and achieve their success potential. Our vision is for Amazon’s stores to be the most attractive and efficient destination for long-term sustainable growth, enabling us to capture all customer-relevant selection with direct brand relationships, low prices, convenience, and speed.

We are seeking a seasoned Software Development Manager to lead a talented team to develop world class tools that improve the productivity and outcome of WW sales and AM teams so that these teams can focus on the customer and help them drive their business while Amazon can deploy our people in areas that are strategic and complex. Finally we will utilize our learnings from managed sellers to scale our ability to drive success for unmanaged sellers.

As a key member of our leadership team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our operations, driving innovation and customer satisfaction. This technical leader will be someone that approaches complex business questions with data and curiosity, and dives below the surface to identify the root cause and "so what" rather than just superficial trends.

• Collaborate with product managers, business stakeholders, and other engineering teams to define product requirements and deliver high-impact features.
