1. JOB SUMMARY
Every seller relationship with Amazon begins at the same place: registration. The onboarding experience is the very first impression sellers have of what it means to sell on Amazon.JP — and how fast, how clear, and how trusted that experience feels will determine whether they launch at all, and how confidently they do it.
In this role, you will serve as the Senior Product Manager owning the seller registration and onboarding experience for Amazon Japan. Your primary customer is the seller — specifically the thousands of domestic sellers who arrive at Amazon Japan each year hoping to build their business here. You will develop a deep understanding of where they get stuck, what slows them down, and what makes the difference between a seller who launches within days and one who drops off entirely. That understanding drives every product decision you make.
The scope of this role is both strategic and hands-on. You will own the roadmap for how sellers are guided through identity and document verification, how they receive feedback on their submissions, and how quickly they reach their first day of selling. You will lead the design and launch of an AI-powered onboarding assistant — a conversational tool that meets sellers where they are, answers their questions in real time, and gives them immediate, actionable feedback on the documents they submit. You will also have the opportunity to revamp the entire onboarding environment that brings together guidance, tooling, and support to meaningfully compress the time from registration to live listing.
This is a rare opportunity to own the full seller entry experience end-to-end — from first click to first sale — at one of the world's largest e-commerce marketplaces.

- Develop a deep understanding of the seller onboarding journey — where friction exists, where sellers drop off, and what separates fast-launching sellers from those who stall — and translate those insights into prioritized product improvements
- Lead the design and build AI-powered onboarding tools that converse with sellers, answers questions in real time, and provides immediate feedback on document and identity submissions
- Own the revamp of the onboarding environment to create a faster, clearer, and more supportive path from registration to live selling
