Are you a Principal Product Manager who has the experience to manage a business at scale while keeping your foot on the gas and continuing to provide our customers with the features they're asking for as well as the ones they haven't asked for yet? We need somebody who has a proven track record of guiding a successful business to be even more successful. One of our most exciting businesses is RDS Postgres, which is providing enterprise-class performance and reliability comparable to or better than Oracle and SQL Server – but at the open-source prices and ease of use of MySQL and Mongo. As customers move to the cloud, they are also finding that it’s time to move both upscale from less performant open source databases and down-cost from proprietary databases. Your focus will be the RDS PostgreSQL business in both its current state and all future projects around it.
The successful candidate will be a tenacious, ambitious, self-starter with a passion for the cloud who can serve as a strong advocate for our developer and enterprise customers. You will have proven analytical capabilities, strong persuasive writing skills, Internet business experience, and the tenacity to develop ideas independently and thrive in a fast-paced start-up environment. You must have a deep understanding of customer needs, the competitive landscape and be able to translate customer needs into features, pricing models, and merchandising opportunities to deliver an unparalleled customer experience.
As the RDS Postgres Principal Product Manager you will:
· Understand our customers inside and out via regular calls, visits, customer briefings, your own customer advisory board and travel to conferences, summits and customer sites
· Lead teams across AWS, directly or by influence, that drive the Amazon RDS PostgreSQL business forward
· Develop the RDS PostgreSQL product strategy and vision and translate it into creative, high quality, simple project features
· Make the business decisions that grow adoption and usage of RDS and RDS PostgreSQL. Set prices, target the right customers, and focus our investments in the right areas.
· Work closely with all RDS engineering teams to design, schedule and deliver in an agile environment.
· Launch new features and make sure our sales, marketing, and PR teams are telling the most compelling RDS PostgreSQL story
· Dive deep into database technology to chart the vision for the next big things from Amazon and RDS PostgreSQL – RDS PostgreSQL is just the beginning of our plans
