DESCRIPTION

Looking for a career at a company that seeks to be Earth's most customer-centric company? If so, meet Amazon. Do you want to build the home page that every business customer will start their Amazon buying experience with?

Over the past 20 years, Amazon has reinvented on behalf of customers and has become the largest internet retailer and marketplace in the world. Through our entrepreneurial culture, Amazon has developed new technologies and products (like Echo) and, enterprise services (like Amazon Web Services). Amazon is now reinventing on behalf of the business customer and focused on building the largest and most innovative Business-to-Business (B2B) marketplace in the world, and we are recruiting to make this vision a reality.

Amazon Business (or B2B) represents an incredible opportunity to address a vast new market segment and customer base and is an area of high interest for Amazon. We are focused on building solutions that enable B2B customers to find, research, and buy products and services from a vast selection, across multiple devices, marketplaces and regions. Our customers include individual professionals, small businesses to large institutions (and everything in between). Our B2B customers have different needs than the traditional Amazon customer so we are reinventing everything from how we display our selection, price our products, and provide the right customer experience.
The Amazon Business Hyderabad team is tasked with building the end to end buying experience for business customers. Unlike consumers, business purchasing follow different buying patterns (bulk, repeat buying) and we target users playing not just buying roles (e.g. administrators, approvers). Further, the buying behaviors and preferences are governed by the industry that the company is from (e.g. Healthcare, Education, Government) and the role they play (Admin, Approver, buyer). Our challenge is to build a highly tailored buying experience that is dynamically generated based on the industry, role, persona and the past buying patterns of the customer.
The AB Home Page team is tasked with building a compelling home page that allows both buyers and non-buyers (admins, approvers) easy access to the information they need or take actions that need attention within a few clicks. We strive to optimize the content that is most relevant to utilize valuable screen real estate. The home page includes personalized recommendations for products along with surfacing relevant tasks and notifications that is relevant for the logged in user given their role, industry and company preferences. While we add new features to the Home Page, we also need to make sure we meet the tight latency requirements to not compromise on the user experience. We are looking for a dynamic leader for who will have the technical and people leadership skills to lead this flagship team for Amazon Business.
