About this role
Description
Amazon Now is one of Amazon's fastest-growing businesses globally and is redefining how customers shop in Quick Commerce. As customer usage rapidly expands beyond Everyday Essentials into higher-consideration, mission-driven, and lifestyle-led purchases, Amazon Now is uniquely positioned to lead this shift by combining Amazon's scale, trust, and execution excellence with fast, reliable delivery. With the evolution of our store network and promise constructs, Amazon Now is enabling an increasingly diverse and expansive selection to be delivered within minutes, making category strategy and selection depth one of the most strategically critical levers in the business.
As a Manager, Business Development, you will lead end-to-end category development across assigned business verticals. You will own the selection vision and growth roadmap, defining how Quick Commerce can become a differentiated destination for urgent, convenience-led, routine, and impulse missions across categories. This includes identifying whitespace opportunities, shaping category-specific quick-commerce use cases, and building scalable selection strategies that balance speed, breadth, depth, and customer relevance.
You will lead and develop a high-performing team of category and business development managers, setting clear goals, coaching for impact, and driving strong execution rigor. The role requires close engagement with brands, distributors, aggregators, and sellers to unlock exclusive launches, quick-commerce-first selection, premium and imported assortments, regional relevance, and emerging brand partnerships purpose-built for rapid fulfillment. You will work cross-functionally with Supply Chain, Instock, Pricing, Tech, Marketing, and Operations to ensure selection is operationally viable, commercially competitive, and consistently available at scale.
This role will be central to defining how Amazon Now leads the market on selection, outpacing incumbents through superior assortment architecture, faster selection refresh cycles, smarter store-level deployment, and sharper commercial levers. You will partner closely with senior leadership to influence long-term category strategy, shape investment priorities, and deliver sustained, disproportionate growth across Amazon Now's next growth pillars.
