Want to shape the physical products millions of Amazon customers use every day? Hardlines Private Brands (HPB) is investing in speed to market and global category expansion, and we need a Senior Product Development Manager to own the end-to-end roadmap for a key category. You will take consumer-facing products from initial concept through manufacturing and commercialization across multiple regions, defining the materials, features, and value proposition that raise the bar for customers and make them choose our brands with confidence. This is a hands-on product development role where you will navigate ambiguity, balance global and regional priorities, use AI to accelerate ideation and analysis, and collaborate with sourcing, design, marketing, and business teams to launch products on-time and on-target.
Key job responsibilities
- Own the global roadmap for your category - opportunity, feature set, and prioritization - informed by customer signals, market trends, and product performance data across regions.
- Drive cross-functional collaboration with sourcing, design, business, in-stock, marketing, legal, and compliance teams to deliver products from concept through manufacturing and commercialization on-time and on-target.
- Navigate ambiguity to define new processes and solve problems where playbooks don't yet exist, applying strong judgment to keep programs moving forward.
- Identify opportunities to reduce commercialization timelines by root-causing process and system defects, then define and document future-state processes that unlock speed without sacrificing product quality.
- Make strategic trade-offs between global consistency and regional needs, balancing speed to market, business performance, and product features while aligning stakeholders across functions.
A day in the life
You will lead regular cross-functional product reviews with sourcing and business stakeholders, evaluate physical supplier samples, and provide design direction on materials and finishes. Between meetings you will use AI tools to accelerate data analysis, test product concepts, and close process gaps. You will also coordinate with regional teams to align launch timelines and resolve local requirements, keeping global product launches on track.
