DESCRIPTION
Are you interested in computational advertising and sponsored recommendations? Do you thrive in a fast-paced organization with a significant impact on hundreds of millions of customers? Do you love to innovate at the intersection of customer experience, deep learning, and high-scale machine-learning systems? If so, Amazon Sponsored Products could be the right place for you.
The Sponsored Products (SP) Detail Page Experience, Monetization, and Marketplace Intelligence team is responsible for building compelling advertising experiences on one of the most visited destinations on the internet—Amazon’s product detail pages. We focus on delivering personalized, context-aware ads that align with shopper preferences, adapt to seasonal and event-driven moments, and integrate naturally with organic content such as deals, new arrivals, basket-building features, and fast-delivery options. The team operates full-stack—from auction mechanisms to customer-facing experiences—working closely with Amazon Stores to drive the growth of SP on detail pages.
Key job responsibilities
We are seeking a seasoned and technically proficient leader to own and expand this space. As a single-threaded leader, you will guide the transformation of the detail page into a high-impact surface for product discovery and monetization through scalable, customer-centric advertising solutions—ranging from fully sponsored content to blended ad-organic formats. This role also entails end-to-end responsibility for marketplace operations, including auction allocation and pricing strategies. The successful candidate will apply a diverse set of signals, such as page context, shopper intent, seasonality, regional trends, delivery speed, and return likelihood, as well as deep learning and generative AI models to enhance customer experience, unlock incremental monetization, reduce cost to serve, and drive sustainable advertiser RoAS (return on ad spend). Additionally, the role involves developing real-time dynamic blending systems that optimize ad load and placement to balance business and customer outcomes.
This leader will oversee a cross-functional organization of applied scientists, engineers, and product managers, owning core components such as: Tier-1 auction service for detail pages, innovation across large-scale ML, deep learning, and generative AI/LLMs, and design and deployment of new product experiences that improve discovery and deliver business impact. This is a high-impact leadership role at the intersection of personalization, monetization, product innovation, marketplace dynamics, and machine learning—ideal for a strategic, technically fluent, and customer-obsessed leader ready to shape the future of Sponsored Products advertising on Amazon product detail pages.
