We're looking for an accomplished product management leader to play a big role on the Amazon NoSQL database team.
Want to make database history? Come and join the Amazon Database services team – the creators of DynamoDB, Redshift and Amazon Relational Database (RDS) services. Thousands of customers run managed databases on Amazon’s industry leading cloud computing platform.
The DB services team is growing rapidly, and is seeking an accomplished customer-focused product management leader with strong product management (inbound and outbound) and technical experience in database products or services..
Your primary responsibility will be to own a database service or market segment and accelerate the business growth in current and adjacent markets. You will achieve that by shaping and driving the product strategy and roadmap that focuses on customer experience, user adoption, and operational excellence. In this is a highly visible position you will interact with the senior management team within AWS and Amazon.com businesses.
Key Strategic Objectives:
Provide unparalleled customer experience for the service you own and drive broad adoption. Create and execute on product plans to deliver new features, pricing changes, marketing programs, customer surveys, partner engagements, “how to” guides, and technical documentation. Develop a strategic and tactical plan that measures and improves the awareness, trial, and adoption of Amazon RDS.
Grow to lead the organization through change, evolution, and sustained scaling. The right individual will aspire to become a leader with drive and competencies to scale the organization to match the business growth. You will lead by example, being just as passionate about operational performance and predictability as you are about all other aspects of the customer experience. You will not have the luxury of having tunnel-vision for any one area; rather, you will need to exhibit excellent judgment on how to prioritize between focusing on existing versus new customers and between features, architectural improvements and operational excellence.
