Amazon Business (AB) aims to become the most customer-centric provider of products and procurement services for businesses and governments across the world. We're off to a big start. After launching in 2015 in the United States, Amazon Business quickly reached $10 billion in annualized revenue serving more than half of the Fortune 100 companies, over 75% of the 100 largest hospitals, local governments, and education organizations. Now we're expanding outside the United States. Building on top of Amazon's long history of customer focus, innovation, and our drive to think big, AB is addressing a new set of customer needs in a vast new market segment. While we can rely on Amazon's existing capabilities in user experience, convenience, selection, pricing and logistics, we need to invent a new way that we will serve the needs international businesses and other institutional buyers - from the kinds of products we offer to how we deliver them.

The ideal candidate will have a strong track record of being able to both Think Big in developing something from scratch and Diving Deep looking around every corner to ensure we deliver a world class solution. All the while, this leader will have an extremely high bar f how we meet the needs of our varied Customers.

S/he will be a thought leader who can build new business models, address unmet customer needs and invent new solutions. This individual will lead a dedicated software development team to build a brand new solution for international business customers.

Here are a few exciting things about this role: (1) The B2B market is estimated at $13.2T and AB has just started; the growth potential is tremendous. (2) Amazon was a consumer focused company first; it doesn't yet work well with Enterprise companies. This role provides a rare opportunity to be involved in understanding the end-to-end solution for how Amazon solves eCommerce at scale and then using that knowledge to shift the architecture to best enable Amazon Business. This requires innovation in large scale, highly distributed systems with big data. But don't let this overwhelm you, as it will be a team effort, partnering with some of Amazon's top technical leaders in the space. (3) You will also have the opportunity to collaborate with diverse business and technical partners to shape our technology. You will be the voice of our international customers, driving technological innovation to create an unparalleled business procurement experience.
