Your day-to-day responsibilities are to:
- Write high quality business requirement and functional specification documents based on intimate knowledge of the space and internal dependencies
- Interact with project sponsors, project stakeholders and multiple business and technical teams to define and deliver complex features

- Communicate project issues and status in a concise, accurate, and professional manner
- Build and maintain integrated project schedules that account for internal/external dependencies and constraints
- Remain flexible to changing priorities, open to new ideas and have Amazon's success firmly in your focus
We are looking for a true innovator who understands usability and business bottlenecks in today’s fast changing video game industry and has the vision to positively guide this evolution and bring world class experience to our customers.
