Job description

Description

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
