Success Central owns security mechanisms and financial governance related to Salesforce/SAP development, and delivers company-wide, reusable components for common Salesforce/SAP use cases and recommended third-party solutions.

On the Success Central team, you’ll be responsible for defining the the product and service vision for SAPSC to maximize our value to Amazon teams innovating with SAP. You will be the pioneer in extending the Success Central program to SAP by working with internal teams interested in or already using SAP to understand the demand and formulating a GTM strategy and resourcing plan to support these teams. You will own the business model on how teams can “pay” for our offerings based on the value that we deliver to ensure Customer Obsession and Ownership.

Key job responsibilities
As the Head of Product, you will define the strategic vision and own the long-term roadmap for major suites of technology products with company-wide impact. Working with technical teams within Success Central, you will use your product domain expertise, customer obsession, and ownership of the end-to-end product development cycle (customer engagements, stakeholder buy-ins and requirements definition, CX design, compliance, feature definition and prioritization, product messaging, go-to-market strategies, and post-launch closed-loop feedback mechanisms) to lead products and teams through strategic and technical ambiguity to ultimate success. You will be expected to make appropriate tradeoffs to optimize time-to-market and technical and business outcomes, clearly communicating goals, roles, responsibilities, and desired outcomes. Beyond a strong technical background and proven track record of product management, a successful candidate will have experience driving strategy and influencing executive leadership. We are looking for someone that is a self-starter, someone that approaches complex business questions with data and curiosity, and a person that dives below the surface to identify the root cause and "so what" rather than just superficial trends.
