Quick: A seller is listing a new product on Amazon. They report the product normally lists for $89.99 and that they're selling it for $50. What should Amazon do with this information? Is this price gouging or a terrific price?
This is a difficult problem and it happens more than 2 billion times per day.
The Amazon Pricing team is looking for a seasoned senior product manager - technical to tackle complex and ambiguous pricing evaluation problems via our worldwide suite of Price Evaluation tools that answer the hypothetical question posed above and many more like it. As the Sr PM-T over our price evaluation tools, you'll partner with our team of research scientists, data scientists, business intelligence engineers, and developers to build out the next generation of models that Amazon uses to evaluate prices. You will own and improve tools that are designed to ensure products on Amazon have prices that are factually-based, competitively priced, and not 'too good to be true.' The models and heuristics you will build will determine that one $100 product is likely a pricing error (a TV normally $1,000+), a different $100 product is a terrific price and should have a featured strike-through price on the website (competitors consistently price the product for $199), and yet another $100 product is priced so high that we would not allow it to be featured on the website (it's a 2-pack, and the 1-pack is only $8).
Key job responsibilities
This is a highly visible position. You must have the experience and capability to prepare documentation for senior executives and align your roadmap with Pricing Perception Org objectives. Excellent written, verbal communication and data analytical skills are a necessity. Successful candidates should thrive in a highly collaborative, creative, analytical, and fast-paced environment oriented around delivering better prices to customers worldwide. You will excel at looking around corners, and anticipating where to build and when to test to fail fast.
