Program Manager for Amazon Devices Beta Team to execute real-world validation and gather pre-launch customer feedback.
Key job responsibilities
The ADB Team needs an experienced Program Manager to help us build and execute programs to validate the customer experience during the product development cycle. You will work with end users and a wide variety of internal teams to develop the strategy and execute the program to confirm from a customer perspective we are ready to launch. You will be a “hands on” contributor to support and troubleshoot issues, resolve problems, and keep the feedback flowing. Along the way, you’ll identify opportunities for improvements and put processes and tools in place to help us scale. You will track, communicate status, and independently drive issues to resolution. Cross-team coordination, program management, and an ability to learn and understand new technologies are essential.
A day in the life
Our programs are global and composed of Amazon employees across the company. We put pre-released devices and/or software in the hands of beta testers who represent our target customer profile ("people all about smart home automation", "people who love to read", or "people who are native speakers of French"). Working with our product team counterparts, we ask testers for “no holds barred” feedback to tell us what works and what needs to be fixed. Our bar is always being raised and we strive to achieve an Amazon 4-Star or better product every time!
