Job Description

As one of the largest e-commerce companies in the world, Amazon processes billions of transactions securely online via a number of payment mechanisms, including credit cards, direct debiting from a checking account, and electronic gift certificates.  These orders are processed on behalf of millions of merchants, including Amazon.  Over the past 10 years, Amazon has become known across the globe as the most trusted company on the internet.  We believe that having world-class payment technology platform is a big contributor to that reputation – and that there is incredible opportunity to further leverage our payment technology platform assets.

The GPS Platform team owns the core technology to process payment transactions, execute customer refunds, receive and disburse funds. The team is responsible for enabling payments for new marketplaces and adding new payment products. The platform currently supports 38 payment products worldwide.

As Product Manager on the GPS Platform Product Management team, you will be the primary liaison for integrating all Amazon businesses with the GPS platform to guide the development of the Payments Portal solution.  Currently, each business has a custom integration between their payments order pipeline and GPS, and with each new payment method or feature that is added a new integration is required requiring increased resources and time to go live.  You will work to gather business requirements and build out a solution that simplifies the payments integration strategy by analyzing their business needs, create the product requirements and define the platform strategy to support the growth of Amazon.  You will help build features and platform enhancements from existing ideas, and help innovate new ideas to support business growth based on your global payment industry experience and your contact with stakeholders and internal customers.

Additionally, you will own the future externalization of this capability through the development of a business plan that enables off-Amazon businesses to utilize the GPS platform for payment needs, building a business from the ground up.

You must possess a unique blend of business and technical savvy; a big-picture vision as well as the drive and attention to detail that transforms the vision into a reality. You must enjoy spending time with the clients and find innovative solutions to support the dynamic and fast growth in Amazon. You must be able to communicate well with all areas of the company.

This role calls for an individual who can demonstrate sound product management skills (analytical, business judgment, communication, product discipline) in addition to being technically smart to gain credibility with internal customers and stakeholders.

Basic Qualifications
  • 5-7 years of product management/product marketing work experience
  • Demonstrated experience in gathering, analyzing and synthesizing business requirements from multiple sources for effective translation into a platform/product vision
  • Bachelor’s degree; business administration, technology economics or finance preferred

  • Knowledgeable in technology development best practices and product management methodology
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong quantitative data analysis and critical thinking skills
  • Excellent project management and collaborative skills
  • MBA and finance background preferred.
