Description

Over the years, Amazon has historically relied on third-party systems to provide employee-facing experiences, which has limited scale and innovation as Amazon has grown. Our organization, Foundational People Data Services (FPDS), is reimagining how people services are built by bringing them in-house and enabling innovation for Amazonians by Amazonians.

FPDS is looking for an experienced Principal Product Manager (Technical) to lead and build solutions for Amazon's businesses that raise the bar on HR technology. This role can be located in Seattle or Boston only.

Our product is people-data, along with the data infrastructure and security and privacy services needed to consume, store, and secure that data. We’ve launched a secure and scalable people-data store and event publishing bus; a people-data catalog with federated ownership and compliance; role-based authorization and access controls to protect confidentiality; streamlined privacy reviews, Tier-1 real-time data APIs for people-data; high-volume data transfer to the company-wide data lake; and synthetic and scrambled people-data to streamline testing and lower production defects.

Our customers are builders. We build services to make it easier and seamless for builders to innovate on behalf of their customers (employees, managers, and HR teams). We have helped builders across Amazon invent experiences with our AWS-like, first-party data services which focus on the builder experience. Our data services power thousands of vital tools and systems employees use every day to connect with coworkers, badge into the office, communicate with others, get paid, and more.

In this role, you will be the product owner of an internally-facing system that thousands of teams across Amazon leverage. As a successful candidate, you will have a proven track record in defining strategic product visions, managing and delivering large scale products to technical customers, and influencing across organizations. You will be proficient in modern product management practices using design-led approaches powered by research. You will demonstrate solid business acumen and creativity in envisioning ground-breaking concepts by fostering an environment of experimentation and innovative thinking. You will be effective in building a network across partners and business leaders inside Amazon. You will demonstrate relentless customer obsession and work with peer groups in incrementally delivering on your exciting product vision.
