Sr. Manager, Product Management – Leo Network Infrastructure, Leo Network Infrastructure

Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to

deliver fast, reliable broadband connectivity to customers beyond the reach of

existing networks. From households to small businesses, schools, hospitals, and

government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve communities and organizations

operating in places without dependable internet access.

We are looking for a Senior Manager to lead the team defining the roadmap for

Leo’s overall network infrastructure. This leader will own the product roadmap

spanning security, performance, reliability, ground infrastructure, and embedded

software across both our customer terminals and satellite vehicles. This is a

wide-scope, high-impact role for a seasoned product leader who thrives at the

intersection of complex technical systems and crisp prioritization.

The ideal candidate is an exceptional product leader who can make difficult

trade-offs across competing priorities, earn trust with senior engineering and

business leaders, and translate ambiguous technical challenges into clear

product direction. You bring deep career experience in networking and have a

proven track record of managing large-scale infrastructure portfolios through

disciplined prioritization and stakeholder alignment.

Key job responsibilities

Own and define the multi-year network infrastructure product roadmap for Leo,

spanning security, performance, reliability, ground infrastructure, and embedded

software.

Set priorities and make trade-off decisions across competing workstreams —

balancing customer-facing performance, system reliability, and delivery

velocity.

Lead and develop a team of product experts, setting a high bar for

customer-centric thinking, technical depth, and stakeholder engagement.

Build deep trust with engineering, business, and Leo leadership through

transparency, data-driven recommendations, and consistent delivery.

Drive the embedded software product strategy for customer terminals (CTs) and

satellite vehicles, working closely with hardware and firmware engineering

teams.

Write and drive strategic narratives, investment proposals, and roadmap

documents that inform executive decision-making.

Represent Leo network infrastructure in MBRs, OP1/OP2 planning, and executive

reviews — articulating priorities, risks, and resource needs.

Establish and maintain clear planning cadences, milestone tracking, and

communication rhythms across a broad set of stakeholders.

Champion a culture of customer obsession, technical excellence, and operational

rigor within the product team.

Export Control Requirement:

Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S.

citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder),

or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

A day in the life

Your week is a blend of strategic planning and hands-on leadership. Monday opens

with a roadmap review where you’re making a prioritization call between

accelerating a ground infrastructure feature and pulling forward an embedded

software security feature that a key customer segment is asking for. You bring

data, customer signals, and engineering capacity constraints to frame the

trade-off for your leadership.

Mid-week you’re in a deep-dive with one of your PMs, Principal Engineers and the

satellite vehicle firmware team, reviewing the approach for an over-the-air

update mechanism. You push on reliability requirements and ensure the product

requirements account for edge cases specific to Amazon Leo. Later that day,

you’re aligning with the security team on the encryption and access control

roadmap for ground-to-satellite communication.

Thursday brings an executive review where you present the quarterly roadmap

update — clearly framing what shipped, what moved, and why. You’ve built trust

with these stakeholders by consistently delivering on commitments and being

transparent about trade-offs. Friday you spend 1:1 time with your PMTs, coaching

on a PRFAQ draft and reviewing prioritization frameworks ahead of the next

planning cycle.

About the team

You’ll be a leader on the Leo Connectivity team – a group of product and

technology leaders responsible for delivering end to end connectivity products

for our customers. Our team includes our device portfolio, enterprise

validation, the networking overlay products our customers use every day, and of

course your network infrastructure team.

This role sits at the center of that portfolio — providing the product

leadership and roadmap coherence that enables multiple engineering teams to

build toward a unified vision. You will work alongside engineering directors,

principal engineers, and partner product teams to ensure Leo’s network

infrastructure is world-class.

We value leaders who earn trust through competence and transparency, who

simplify complexity for their teams, and who make the hard calls on

prioritization so their teams can execute with clarity and confidence. Basic
