DESCRIPTION:
Amazon Business is seeking an exceptional Senior Engineering Leader to spearhead our efforts in revolutionizing B2B commerce. This high-impact role will be instrumental in shaping the future of how businesses, governments, and institutions procure supplies on a global scale.
As a key member of our leadership team, you will drive the technical vision and strategy for building innovative solutions that enable business customers to efficiently research, discover, and purchase business, industrial, and scientific products across vast catalogs. Your expertise will be crucial in developing seamless experiences across multiple devices, marketplaces, and regions.

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to make a substantial impact on Amazon's fastest-growing segment, leading a team that's expanding even more rapidly than Amazon's overall impressive growth. Your leadership will be pivotal in driving innovation, scaling our operations, and ultimately transforming B2B commerce on a global scale.
