Head of Product, Alexa Connections

October 1, 2026

Job ID: 10519719 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Build the Future of Personal Communication with Alexa+
Come define what it means for AI to communicate on behalf of humans.
With over 600 million Alexa-enabled devices in customers’ homes, Amazon is entering a new era—where advances in generative AI are transforming Alexa from a reactive assistant into a proactive, deeply personal communications partner. Alexa+ represents a step-change in how people connect: with each other, their communities, and the digital world.
At Alexa Connections, our mission is to build the most trusted AI communication layer in the world—one that helps customers get things done effortlessly while creating meaningful, human moments at scale.
We own end-to-end communication experiences across:
Household connection (Announcements, Drop-In)
Global communication (Video & voice calling, messaging, email, sharing)
AI-powered productivity (calendar/task extraction, intelligent summarization, proactive assistance)
We are also pioneering real-time, multimodal AI primitives that power experiences across the Amazon ecosystem—spanning Alexa, Fire TV, Ring, and beyond. Generative AI is not a feature here—it is foundational to how we build, ship, and scale.
