Full Job Description

The Principal, Product Manager in Talent Management is a senior individual contributor who designs, leads, and scales enterprise-wide talent management strategies and programs. This role operates with significant autonomy in highly ambiguous environments, driving talent management initiatives across multiple business units or geographies. The Principal serves as a recognized subject-matter expert and trusted advisor to senior leaders (Director and VP level), shaping the talent agenda and influencing long-term workforce strategy. Come Build How Amazon Grows Its Best People Amazon doesn't just hire great talent — we obsess over how to develop, retain, and grow it. Our Talent Management team builds the programs, systems, and strategies that shape the employee experience for over 1.5 million people worldwide. This is where people science meets product thinking at a scale no other company can match. We're looking for a Principal who thinks like a product leader and operates like a program owner. Someone who can take a complex, cross-functional challenge — spanning product, UX, engineering, and analytics — and turn it into a launched experience with clear strategy, measurable outcomes, and executive-level visibility. You'll own end-to-end product management and design for talent programs, writing docs, orchestrating cross-functional teams, and presenting to PXT leadership monthly. You won't inherit a playbook. You'll write one. Key job responsibilities • Enterprise Talent Strategy: Design and own the end-to-end talent management strategy for the enterprise, including talent evaluation, high-potential identification and retention, performance management, and AI-enhanced talent experiences. • Product Ownership & Delivery: Own the product vision, roadmap, and delivery for talent management programs. Write strategy docs, engage UX/Design/Analytics/Engineering partners, and drive cross-functional teams to ship at scale — without direct authority over those teams. • Executive C
