-
Cross-Platform Product Strategy: Own the strategic vision for how Amazon Music's experience evolves across devices and endpoints. Identify where platform-level investments create outsized customer value and drive alignment across teams on sequencing and prioritization.

-
Goal Setting & Measurement: Define success metrics for cross-platform initiatives and AI-powered experiences.

Stakeholder & Partner Management: Navigate complex multi-team dependencies across Amazon Music and adjacent business units. Drive clarity on ownership, sequencing, and tradeoffs. Ensure strategic alignment without sacrificing execution velocity.
A day in the life You start the morning reviewing a partner team's strategy doc and leaving comments that connect their plans to Amazon Music's broader cross-platform roadmap. Before lunch, you lead a working session with engineering and science teams to define how Music's personalization signals and content graph should be leveraged across new product surfaces. After lunch, you walk your Director through a strategic narrative for an upcoming VP review - framing a multi-year vision for where Amazon Music should invest next. Later, you join a cross-org alignment meeting, pushing for decisions that serve multiple surfaces without creating lowest-common-denominator experiences. You wrap the day reviewing customer data that will shape your next investment recommendation.
