Senior Product Manager - FBA Placement, Marketplace Recruitment & Dev

Description:

Today, more than 58% of worldwide purchases from Amazon are made from third-party businesses. That's $160B in sales, mostly from Small and Medium-sized businesses. Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) enables these businesses (our Selling Partners) to hand over the heavy lifting of warehousing, payment processing, delivery, returns and customer service to Amazon, utilizing the capabilities that Amazon has built over the last 25 years.

Have you ever wondered how Amazon delivers so quickly, or if delivery speeds could improve even further? The Australian FBA team is seeking a highly motivated, data-driven Product Manager to drive improvement of FBA Inventory placement. We innovate for our customers to enhance product availability and speed while reducing costs and carbon emissions on the end-to-end supply chain from Selling Partners. This role will give you a unique view into Amazon Inbound and Inventory Placement systems, processes, and operations, enabling collaboration with business, planning, operations, and technical teams.

A successful Product Manager must have exceptional data skills, strong analytical abilities, relationship building and communication skills, an ability to work under tight deadlines, a track record of delivering results, and be an independent self-starter. This role will be instrumental in improving operational efficiency and reducing end-to-end Supply Chain cost between Seller shipment initiation, Amazon warehousing, and delivery of their products to the end customers.
