Principal Product Manager - Tech, Security Compliance and Engineering

Principal Product Manager Technical

We are looking for a Principal Product Manager Technical to own the direction of a portfolio of security products with company-wide security, risk, and compliance impact, and to own one of those products directly. You will define how our products come together: where each one begins and ends, which capabilities belong where, and what the single experience looks like for a builder or a security team moving across them. You will also hold the product function for our most widely adopted product, so the portfolio direction stays anchored to a real backlog rather than becoming strategy at a distance.

This role operates where the business opportunity and the product strategy are not yet defined. You will often need to establish what the problem is before proposing what to build. You will influence engineering priorities, partner-team roadmaps, and security strategy across multiple VP organizations, without owning those teams. Key job responsibilities include owning portfolio direction, owning a flagship product, defining strategy where none exists, influencing across organizations, setting the measurement bar, and developing the product function.

A day in the life involves moving between horizons, resolving boundary questions, reviewing specifications, and resetting expectations with partner teams. You will spend meaningful time outside our organization, because most of what limits us is a dependency or a relationship we have not built yet. You will write documents that make ambiguous, contested decisions reviewable by senior leadership, and you will own the outcome of those decisions.

About the team: We are a team of product managers, program managers, engineers, and security engineers building the products that make security the default rather than a gate. Our portfolio spans three things: preventing issues at the point code is written, assuring that controls are implemented and evidenced, and turning security signals into risk intelligence that tells leaders which risks are worth their attention. Each product has one named owner for what we build and why, and one named owner for delivery, so ownership is unambiguous by design.

Diverse Experiences: Amazon Security values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn't followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don't let it stop you from applying.

Why Amazon Security? At Amazon, security is central to maintaining customer trust and delivering delightful customer experiences. Our organization is responsible for creating and maintaining a high bar for security across all of Amazon's products and services. We offer talented security professionals the chance to accelerate their careers with opportunities to build experience in a wide variety of areas including cloud, devices, retail, entertainment, healthcare, operations, and physical stores.

Inclusive Team Culture: In Amazon Security, it's in our nature to learn and be curious. Ongoing DEI events and learning experiences inspire us to continue learning and to embrace our uniqueness. Addressing the toughest security challenges requires that we seek out and celebrate a diversity of ideas, perspectives, and voices.

Training & Career Growth: We're continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth's Best Employer. That's why you'll find endless knowledge-sharing, training, and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.

Work/Life Balance: We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why flexible work hours and arrangements are part of our culture.
