Principal Product Manager - Tech, Amazon Private Brands Supply Chain

This Principal PMT role will own driving a cohesive vision and executing on cross-cutting initiatives to optimize Planning and Ordering decisions for the Amazon Private Brands business. Amazon Private Brands has unique Supply Chain requirements compared to Amazon's Core Retail business. This is because Amazon Private Brands is an imports-heavy business with long lead times and direct supplier relationships. Long lead times imply that we need to place orders 3-6 months in advance of customer demand being realized. It also means if we go out of stock, it might take us multiple months to get the ASIN back in stock, losing sales in the interim, so buying the right quantities becomes even more critical. Managing direct supplier relationships means we need to provide suppliers visibility into future demand to help them plan their raw material procurement and to keep their production lines running consistently. These unique challenges of an imports-heavy business also create unique opportunities for innovation on the Supply Chain front.

This is a critical role with an opportunity to drive millions of dollars in cost-savings and in topline growth. This role requires a strong product leader with ability to deal with ambiguity, think big and innovate, analytical and technical depth, ability to bring cross-functional stakeholders together to deliver on shared goals, and excellent written and verbal communication.
