Responsibilities
You are the single-threaded owner for product strategy and business outcomes, defining where Amazon invests, why investments matter, and how products scale over 3–5 years
You'll work backwards from internal customers and business goals, partner with science, engineering, applied science, finance, and operations teams, and drive senior leadership alignment on priorities and tradeoffs
You'll own product roadmaps delivering breakthrough sustainability solutions across energy systems, thermal management, chemical processes, and materials innovation—from early-stage validation through operational pilots to full-scale adoption by partner business units
You'll define clear customer value propositions and business cases articulating how products drive adoption, operational efficiency, risk reduction, or sustainability outcomes
You'll lead portfolio prioritization and tradeoff decisions, distinguishing one-way vs. two-way doors and reallocating resources to maximize business and customer impact
You'll partner with science, engineering, and AI/ML leaders to shape product direction, assess feasibility and scalability, and ensure technical solutions align with customer needs—without owning scientific research or acting as a domain authority
You'll drive executive alignment through high-quality narratives enabling senior leadership decisions on multi-year investments
You'll define and inspect mechanisms tracking product adoption, business impact, and sustainability outcomes, using data to course-correct strategy and roadmap
You'll influence across organizations without authority, aligning senior leaders and stakeholders around coherent product strategies
You'll invent and standardize product mechanisms (intake and prioritization models, pilot-to-scale decision criteria, adoption playbooks) enabling repeatable success
You'll mentor and develop senior PMs, raising the bar for business judgment, working-backwards discipline, and strategic product thinking organization-wide
