The ideal candidate will use a combination of analytical skills, cross-functional understanding, business judgment, technical expertise, and strategic thinking to define the programs that improve Alexa CA Customer Experience. You bring genuine technical curiosity, you stay current with advances in large language models, agentic AI, and conversational systems, and you translate that understanding into better product decisions. You regularly engage directly with customers through beta programs and feedback channels to ground your intuition in real user needs.

Job Overview

You are responsible for customer experience with considerable complexity where problems, opportunity, and strategy may not be defined. You take the lead on initiatives and deliver independently. You influence strategic direction, customer adoption decisions, and organization priorities through well-crafted written narratives and data-backed recommendations that earn trust with senior leadership.

You champion exceptional customer experiences by defining requirements for Canadian customers and partnership with global stakeholders on roadmap development. You balance constraints-compliance, localization, and accessibility-with customer experience considerations. You establish direct customer feedback loops and regularly validate assumptions through qualitative and quantitative research. You monitor operational health after launch and work with teams to address issues with appropriate urgency.

You demonstrate curiosity and a desire to dive deep into the technical aspects of your product, particularly in AI/ML systems. You evaluate technical proposals for strengths and weaknesses, asking the right questions to identify risks and ensure appropriate trade-offs are surfaced before commitments are made. You understand how AI, including agentic systems and large language models, is reshaping product development and apply this understanding to make better product decisions. You proactively explore new AI capabilities, attend technical deep-dives, and maintain enough technical fluency to be a credible partner to engineering. You use all means possible, including AI, to accelerate development cycles, make better decisions, and unlock new forms of innovation.

You demonstrate high skill at using data to drive decisions. You define success criteria, KPIs, and metrics distinguishing between output metrics such as adoption and outcome metrics such as customer satisfaction and business impact. You design experiments and analyze results with statistical rigor. You analyze usage data, performance metrics, customer behavior, and market trends to inform decisions and prioritize roadmap investments-going beyond surface-level reporting to uncover causal relationships and actionable insights. You use AI capabilities to accelerate insight generation while applying critical judgment.

You collaborate with other product managers, sharing mental models for decision-making, providing feedback on documents and strategies, and helping others grow their technical and strategic capabilities. You raise the bar for the PM community through knowledge sharing and thought leadership.

You communicate with precision and influence-crafting compelling written documents that drive alignment across teams and leadership levels. You tailor your communication to your audience, whether presenting to executives, aligning with engineering partners, or rallying cross-functional teams around a shared vision.
