The role
From Amazon's own posting.
What if you could re-invent how millions of customers plan their shopping needs? We are looking for a Principal Product Manager – Tech (PMT) to lead a new 0→1 initiative that will shape the future of how customers discover, organize, and share across Amazon. This is a high-ambiguity, high-impact role that requires creative product thinking, deep technical fluency, and a strong point of view on how Generative AI can unlock transformative customer experiences.
As a Principal PMT, you will define the long-term vision and strategy, influence senior leadership, and drive execution across engineering, science, and design teams. You will operate with significant autonomy, navigating ambiguity to identify the biggest customer problems worth solving and delivering innovative solutions at scale.
