What will you help us create?
The Role:
We are a smart team of doers that work passionately to apply cutting edge advances in robotics and machine learning software to solve real-world challenges. We are working on products that make our customers' lives easier and more fulfilling. We do this by creating delightful products that autonomously deliver peace of mind, convenience and meaningful companionship. This is a unique opportunity to disrupt the industry and introduce new experiences to customers. This role must influence leaders across organizations on the technical, product/roadmap, and business fronts including Research, Engineering, Product, CX and drive decisions across teams to ship. We are looking for entrepreneurial, innovative individuals who thrive on solving tough problems. High judgment, negotiation skills, ability to influence, analytical talent, and leadership skills are essential to success in this role.
As a Principal TPM, you will drive timely delivery of high-ambiguity and complex programs. You should demonstrate deep technical expertise in software development, strong business acumen, exceptional program management skills, and the ability to navigate a large, matrixed organization. You will have enormous opportunity to impact the customer experience, design, architecture, and implementation of cutting edge products that will be used every day. You will anticipate bottlenecks and make tradeoffs, provide escalation management and balance the business needs with schedule and technical constraints. You should be comfortable collaborating in a fast-paced and often uncertain environment, and contributing to innovative solutions, while demonstrating leadership, technical competence, and meticulousness. You should clearly and concisely communicate, both verbally and in writing, with senior management on status, risks and required mitigations to maintain project commitments.
The Ideal Candidate:
If you are someone who has passion for shipping products and you have demonstrated experience for the same, we would love to hear from you. The ideal candidate has the courage of conviction. They are quick on their feet, take solid decisions, and are flexible to see various sides of a situation. Your experience of building technology, processes, and tools will be extremely handy in this opportunity. You will have an opportunity to create and drive processes that will influence several hundreds of Engineering resources. It is important that you can earn trust of your peers, stakeholders, and executives through your body of work and consistency. Most importantly, you are able to lead without authority and get things done. If you have exhibited these skills in delivery of a consumer product, you will enjoy this role. This role has VP and Senior VP level visibility and it will test your skills of abstraction and attention to detail, at the same time. The role also sets you up for bigger opportunities in Amazon.
Responsibilities:
1. Work with key stakeholders in product management and executive teams to define strategy and requirements
2. Create processes, mechanisms, and tools that shape the delivery of the program
3. Manage budget and Fixed/Variable cost for the program
4. Manage ambiguity and competing priorities while staying focused on short term and long-term goals
5. Earn trust through regular communication with senior management on status, risks and change control
6. Define, measure and report on metrics and success indicators. We make decisions based on data
7. Be resourceful and find creative solutions to complex technical and organizational challenges
