About the Role
We are looking for a Principal Product Manager - Tech to join us in Seattle and be part of a transformation from disconnected talent tools into a unified, AI-native talent management platform.
You will define the product experience for Talent Evaluation at Amazon, through connecting multiple product domains, coordinating across engineering teams and multiple VP-level organizations, and owning the end-to-end customer experience for corporate Amazonians navigating their growth and development at Amazon.
This role goes beyond product execution - you will influence and advise Directors and VPs on product tradeoffs, invent new approaches to long-standing problems, and build the cross-organizational partnerships required to deliver a platform that serves Amazon's entire corporate population.
Key job responsibilities
- Define and drive the multi-year product vision and roadmap for ITDS's unified talent evaluation solution
- Own the end-to-end customer experience strategy, working backwards from what corporate Amazonians need to grow, develop, and be recognized
- Design solutions that are flexible and configurable to meet the diverse needs of business line teams across Amazon
- Lead product strategy for AI-native capabilities (e.g., AI-driven talent insights, generative AI for evaluations, intelligent workflow automation)
- Coordinate across 6 engineering teams and 6 product domains to drive shared infrastructure adoption and a cohesive platform architecture
- Represent ITDS in VP-level technical and business forums; influence resource allocation and organizational priorities
- Stand up the mechanisms (reviews, planning processes, shared metrics) that make a multi-team org operate as one product team
- Make high-stakes tradeoffs between near-term delivery commitments and long-term platform investment
- Build and maintain cross-org partnerships with HR, corporate engineering, and business leadership stakeholders
A day in the life You Are a Fit If You
- Operate at the strategic level: you define the roadmap, not just execute one
- See system-level patterns across multiple organizations, architectures, and customer journeys
- Have the technical depth to engage meaningfully with engineering teams on architecture, integration design, and data modeling
- Exercise sound judgment on high-ambiguity tradeoffs where the "right answer" isn't obvious
- Lead through influence without direct authority: aligning Directors, VPs, and peer PMs around a shared direction
- Thrive in environments where you must create clarity from complexity and build consensus across competing priorities
