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
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.

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.

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.
