In this role, you will:
- Lead end-to-end UX research and design for both external-facing and internal-facing procurement tools used across Amazon's global operations.
- Conduct user research, usability studies, and data analysis to deeply understand customer needs and translate insights into design decisions.
- Leverage AI and emerging technologies to simplify complex user journeys, drive efficiency, and reimagine how teams interact with procurement systems
- Partner with engineering, product, and business stakeholders to translate ambiguous, large-scale problems into intuitive experiences
- You'll spend the majority of your time (75%) planning and conducting user research - from generative discovery through evaluative testing - to uncover how people understand, trust, and interact with AI systems. The remaining 25% of your time will be hands-on UX design work, translating research insights into interaction concepts, prototypes, and design artifacts.
Key job responsibilities
- Plan and execute research studies using a range of qualitative and quantitative methods (usability testing, interviews, surveys, diary studies) to evaluate AI-driven features and inform product direction.
- Conduct user journey mapping and define information architecture to simplify complex procurement workflows, ensuring intuitive navigation and seamless task completion.
- Translate research findings into design concepts - creating wireframes, interaction flows, and low-to-mid fidelity prototypes that communicate proposed solutions to cross-functional partners.
- Assess and optimize feature performance through research, A/B testing, and analysis of key metrics.
- Champion the customer perspective by articulating pain points, surfacing unmet needs, and advocating for experiences that are transparent, explainable, and inclusive - particularly where AI decisions impact end users.
