Principal Product Manager - Tech, Amazon Connect

Amazon Connect Principal Product Manager

As part of the AWS Applied AI Solutions organization, we have a vision to provide business applications, leveraging Amazon's unique experience and expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers' businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon's real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use. Amazon Connect is AWS's cloud contact center service that helps companies provide superior customer service at lower cost. Amazon Connect is widely adopted as a contact center application, yet its broader capabilities such as automating workflows, enhancing operational efficiency with AI, and driving customer engagement across industries, are foundational for creating new solutions that address business challenges beyond the contact center. Our long-term vision is for companies to use Amazon Connect to unleash the full potential of their AI and human workforces to achieve exceptional customer and business outcomes. Are you passionate about revolutionizing how organizations engage with their customers and workforce through innovative AI? Join Amazon Connect at an inflection point as we expand beyond traditional contact center capabilities to transform customer and worker experience across industries. We are seeking an experienced Principal Product Manager to act as an Innovation Strategist, collaborating across internal and external teams to inspire the development and adoption of Connect in new, non-contact center use cases, helping Amazon teams adopt the full suite of our native AI solutions, and positioning Amazon as a leader in cloud innovation. Success in this role depends on a combination of technical knowledge, strong communication skills, creative problem solving, and forward-thinking creativity. Key deliverables will include developing innovative prototypes, driving adoption of our native AI features with Amazon businesses, and providing strategic guidance to Connect service teams, and evangelizing Connect's versatility both internally and externally.

What you will get from us: You will be challenged to solve customer problems at AWS scale. You will be part of a strong team in a fast-paced, start-up environment where agile development is embraced and innovation is encouraged. You will get support and resources from some of the smartest people in the industry to continue your personal and professional growth. You'll be joining a fun team that prides itself on a great work environment with an inclusive group of people that loves working together towards a common goal and make history in launching a new strategic service in the industry.
