Every year, millions of people apply to work at Amazon. The technology that powers how we find, assess, hire, and onboard corporate talent operates at a scale that few product leaders ever get to touch. Our corporate hiring systems process millions of applications annually across 60+ countries, serving candidates, recruiters, and hiring managers through every step from job discovery through onboarding and internal mobility. These systems are the front door to Amazon for every person who wants to build a career here.

We are looking for a Director of Product Management to own the product strategy for corporate hiring technology end to end. You will lead the integrated roadmap across recruiting, interviewing, offer management, onboarding, and internal mobility, while strategically influencing partner technology teams.

This role is the architect of Amazon"s Future of Hiring: a strategic vision grounded in the principle that technology should enable human connection and decision-making, not replace it. The future state includes AI-powered competency assessments, intelligent candidate-role matching, automated scheduling, agentic sourcing, and post-hire quality feedback loops. You own the product roadmap that turns this vision into reality.

Key job responsibilities

  • Own the integrated product roadmap for corporate hiring technology, prioritizing investments across recruiting, interviewing, offer management, onboarding, and internal mobility
  • Define the AI and automation product strategy: which workflows become AI-first, how human oversight works, and where traditional interfaces remain the right answer
  • Drive the experience vision across the hiring lifecycle, ensuring candidates, recruiters, and hiring managers experience one coherent product rather than disconnected tools
  • Define and operationalize a quality of hire measurement framework that connects recruiting signals to post-hire outcomes
  • Build and develop a high-performing product management team, defining how the PM discipline evolves as AI accelerates development cycles and automates routine work

A day in the life

You spend your time at the intersection of strategy and execution. On any given week, you might define the product framework for how AI agents should handle candidate communications, then work with engineering leaders to prioritize the next quarter"s investments across scheduling, onboarding, and internal mobility. You review data on where candidates drop out of the hiring funnel, then translate those signals into roadmap decisions that your team executes against.

You dive deep with recruiters and hiring managers understanding where the experience breaks down. You see breakdowns as product architecture problems, not process problems, and you drive solutions that work across 60+ countries with different regulatory requirements and operating norms.

You also invest in your team. AI is changing what it means to be a product manager. As development velocity accelerates and routine analysis gets automated, you define what world-class product management looks like in this new environment. You build the operating model, develop your people, and set the standard for how PMs exercise judgment when AI handles the rest.

About the team

Our team builds the systems that power every corporate hire at Amazon. We process millions of applications annually, serve recruiters and hiring managers, and support candidates through every step from job discovery through their first day on the job. Our products operate across 60+ countries with localized workflows for each market.

Our vision is the Future of Hiring: a living strategy grounded in the principle that technology should enable human connection and decision-making, not replace it. We are building toward AI-powered competency assessments, intelligent candidate-role matching, automated scheduling, agentic sourcing, and quality feedback loops that connect hiring decisions to post-hire outcomes. This vision evolves quarterly as we learn and the landscape shifts.

You will lead a team of approximately 40 product managers and program leaders across four direct reports, partnering closely with engineering, UX, operations, and data science to bring this vision to life.

About the Company

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
