A day in the life
As a Principal Product Manager in Amazon’s quickly-evolving Grocery business, there may not be a typical day. One day you may be presenting to VP/SVP leaders. The next day writing a PRFAQ/BRD. What is constant will be the goals that you and your stakeholders set for your area of ownership. It will be up to you, your tech partners, and stakeholders to define a path to success. Another constant will be the continued opportunities to innovate, solve complex problems, engage with leaders, work with great tech teams, and improve an experience that many of your friends and family use regularly!
