Building Tomorrow's Innovations Today
What if you could sit at the table where AWS was first suggested? Or be in the room when Amazon Prime was just an ambitious idea? At Amazon, most of our innovations started with leaders who dared to think differently. Through the Amazon Leadership Accelerator (ALA), you could be next.
ALA is our selective MBA leadership development program designed to cultivate the next generation of transformative product leaders. The program provides a multi-year pathway for ambitious MBA graduates to work on high-impact initiatives, receive mentorship from senior executives, and accelerate their journey toward becoming future senior leaders at Amazon and elsewhere. ALA participants work directly with senior executives to identify customer needs and scale innovative solutions into transformative businesses. This multi-year pathway combines deep product management fundamentals with technical aptitude - the same combination that built game-changing products like AWS, Alexa, Prime, and Kindle.
This isn't a typical MBA role – it's an opportunity to shape the future of how millions of customers live, work, and play. As a Product Manager in the ALA program, you'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with senior leaders who've built billion-dollar businesses, tackling challenges that stretch beyond your comfort zone while receiving the mentorship to help you succeed.
You'll lead working backwards sessions, write and refine PR/FAQs, dive deep into metrics, and make data-driven decisions about future priorities. Regular touchpoints with your leadership team will help shape your strategic thinking, while collaboration with architects and engineers will strengthen your technical judgment. You'll be part of a cohort of high-caliber MBA graduates who learn, build, and grow together.
Key job responsibilities
Whether you're conducting customer research, developing business cases, or presenting to senior leadership, each day offers opportunities to impact our customers. Throughout your journey, you'll be supported by a community of peers and mentors who share your passion for building what's next.
Customer & Business Impact
A day in the life
Your day might begin with analyzing customer feedback and usage data, collaborating with senior leaders to identify unmet needs that could become Amazon's next breakthrough product. You'll regularly engage with stakeholders across functions to drive your product vision forward, while spending significant time with engineering teams to define technical requirements and ensure scalable solutions.
Our inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers.
