Head of Product, Alexa Connections

About the Role

Come define what it means for AI to communicate on behalf of humans. With over 600 million Alexa-enabled devices in customers' homes, Amazon is entering a new era—where advances in generative AI are transforming Alexa from a reactive assistant into a proactive, deeply personal communications partner. Alexa+ represents a step-change in how people connect: with each other, their communities, and the digital world. At Alexa Connections, our mission is to build the most trusted AI communication layer in the world—one that helps customers get things done effortlessly while creating meaningful, human moments at scale.

What You'll Own

• Household connection (Announcements, Drop-In)
• Global communication (Video & voice calling, messaging, email, sharing)
• AI-powered productivity (calendar/task extraction, intelligent summarization, proactive assistance)

We are also pioneering real-time, multimodal AI primitives that power experiences across the Amazon ecosystem—spanning Alexa, Fire TV, Ring, and beyond. Generative AI is not a feature here—it is foundational to how we build, ship, and scale.

Who You Are

• Proven track record of owning 0→1 and 1→N product evolution at scale
• Strong technical fluency in distributed systems, real-time communications, and/or AI/ML-powered products
• Exceptional at navigating ambiguity and driving clarity across large, complex organizations
• Known for customer obsession, high judgment, and crisp executive communication
• Passionate about building products that are not just useful—but delightful, trusted, and human-centered

Key Job Responsibilities

• Define and evangelize a bold, multi-year product strategy for AI-driven communication experiences
• Create extensible primitives and experiences that span devices, surfaces, and modalities
• Own adoption, engagement, revenue growth, and long-term ecosystem value
• Lead cross-functional teams across engineering, science (ML/AI), design, and go-to-market
• Balance innovation, technical investment, latency, privacy, and customer trust
• Hire, mentor, and scale a world-class team of Technical Product Managers
• Influence senior leadership and align stakeholders with clear, compelling communication
