Sr Principal Product Designer , AWS Solutions
Description
AWS Solutions is a new organization with ambitions to be a leading provider of business applications, leveraging Amazon’s unique experience and expertise, used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. Our mission is to accelerate our customers’ businesses by delivering intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon’s real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use.

• Align stakeholders around cohesive design vision and communicate complex, interactive design concepts clearly and persuasively across different audiences and varying levels of the organization.
• Partner closely with other product and design teams across Amazon.
• Mentor junior talent.
