We are seeking a Senior PM with a technical focus to own supply forecasting capabilities that power Amazon's advertising business. You will partner with science and engineering teams to develop ML models and forecasting algorithms, define requirements accounting for seasonality and publisher behavior, and establish metrics to measure forecast accuracy and business impact. The role involves writing technical specifications, influencing system design, and shaping the roadmap to deliver real-time forecast updates and broader publisher coverage. You will work with cross-functional teams to translate analytical problems into practical product solutions and communicate forecast performance and revenue impact to leadership.
Key job responsibilities
-Own the product roadmap for supply forecasting systems that predict inventory across Amazon's publisher network
-Partner with science and engineering teams to develop ML models that forecast ad impression availability for Programmatic Guaranteed campaigns
-Define requirements for forecasting algorithms that account for seasonality, trends, and publisher behavior patterns
-Establish metrics to measure forecast accuracy and business impact
-Write technical specifications and influence system design decisions
A day in the life
Your morning starts reviewing overnight forecast accuracy metrics. A key publisher's inventory predictions were off by 15%, and you dig into the data to understand why. You join a working session with applied scientists to evaluate a new sampling algorithm that could improve forecast precision for high-variability inventory. After lunch, you're in back-to-back meetings: first with the Programmatic Guaranteed sales team discussing how forecast confidence intervals impact deal commitments, then with engineering to prioritize Q2 roadmap items, deciding if we should invest in real-time forecast updates or expand coverage to new publisher types? You spend the afternoon writing a technical spec for seasonal adjustment logic, referencing historical data patterns and proposing model enhancements. Before end of day, you review a dashboard showing how your forecasts performed against actual inventory delivery for last week's campaigns, identifying opportunities to refine your algorithms. You wrap up by preparing talking points for tomorrow's leadership review on forecast accuracy improvements and their revenue impact.
