Workforce Optimization (WO) team within the Fulfillment Technology and Robotics (FTR) division is responsible for the deployment, performance, and retention of Amazon Fulfillment’s Associate labor pool to manage the largest variable cost for fulfillment execution by innovating the labor pool lifecycle which includes labor planning, schedule and staffing management, and learning and development. Our products and services are used in varying degrees in over 2,000 sites and support dozens of site types within the First, Middle, and Last Mile to impact ~1M Associates worldwide.

The vision of WO is to develop an efficient labor pool by producing cost-optimized planning, accurate and flexible schedules, and create a holistic learning and supportive experience for Associates while protecting their safety and data. Our strategy to achieve this vision includes simplifying decision-making for operators by bridging expected and actual outputs of our execution systems to eliminate the need for homegrown tools. Where applicable, we automate for zero-touch decisions to reduce the reliance on human intervention, institutional knowledge, and bias by building foundational products that are sources of truth and automate workflows and processes. For Associates, we establish tighter cohesion between learning and development programs to facilitate effective learning opportunities, improve knowledge retention to standard work, ensure they are qualified and proficient in performing their tasks, and influence productivity and retention through our programs for labor rotations and policy adherence.

As a Senior PMT, you are responsible for defining the product vision, strategy, and roadmap. This involves distilling clear requirements from diverse stakeholders, conducting market research and usability studies, and performing competitive analysis to identify the right solutions. You write press releases to ensure you're building the right product, and make strategic decisions on when to build, improve, or integrate existing features for the best customer experience. You influence technical priorities and business strategy, align teams around customer needs, and make smart trade-offs to drive appropriate schedules.

You also have a strong technical understanding of the systems and technologies behind your product. You can articulate technical requirements, discuss technology offerings, and mitigate risks to reduce classic failure modes. You use your technical judgment to test assumptions, escalate issues when needed, and build consensus to find the best path forward. Additionally, you develop product plans with clear success criteria, define mechanisms and metrics to track performance, ensure product quality, and may be responsible for evangelism and marketing activities.
