About the role
What will you do at Amazon?
AI is transforming every corner of Amazon — and with that transformation comes
the responsibility to get it right. The Amazon Responsible AI (RAI) team is
building the systems and programs that ensure Amazon's AI is fair, safe,
transparent, and compliant with emerging global regulations. We are looking for
a Sr. Product Manager - Technical who wants to define the product vision for AI
governance at Amazon scale — building the tools and experiences that help
thousands of builder teams develop AI responsibly without slowing down.
No one has solved AI governance at this scale before. Today, tracking thousands
of AI systems against evolving regulatory frameworks, internal expectations, and
voluntary commitments is a problem that's impossible to manage manually. You'll
define the product that makes it possible — automating what would take an army
of auditors, and giving builders the tools to do the right thing without slowing
down. This is a greenfield opportunity on a small, senior team building from
scratch alongside Amazon Scholars, Principal Applied Scientists, and policy
experts. You'll own the product vision and shape the platform direction.
As a PMT on the Responsible AI team, you will define and drive the product
strategy for our AI governance platform, working at the intersection of
technology, policy, and science. You'll partner deeply with engineering teams
building the platform, Applied Scientists developing AI-powered classification
and assessment models, and policy experts interpreting regulatory requirements —
turning ambiguity into a clear, prioritized roadmap that delivers customer
value.
This role is for product leaders who thrive in ambiguity, are energized by the
challenge of defining new product categories, and are motivated by the societal
impact of ensuring AI systems are developed responsibly.
Key job responsibilities
- Define the product vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap for Amazon's AI
governance platform — the system that provides portfolio-level visibility into
AI compliance posture across the company
- Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for responsible AI tooling: from
discovery and customer research through requirements definition, development,
launch, and adoption at scale
- Translate complex regulatory requirements (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, emerging
state/federal AI legislation) and internal responsible AI expectations into
builder-friendly product experiences and self-service workflows
- Drive product strategy for AI system discovery, risk classification, and
compliance evidence collection — working backward from builder needs to reduce
friction while meeting governance obligations
- Define metrics and KPIs that measure responsible AI adoption, tool
effectiveness, and compliance coverage — using data to prioritize roadmap
investments and communicate progress to leadership
- Partner with Applied Scientists to shape AI-powered features (automated risk
classification, compliance gap detection, evidence generation) and define how ML
models integrate into the product experience
- Conduct customer research with internal builder teams across Amazon to deeply
understand pain points, workflows, and compliance challenges — and turn those
insights into prioritized product requirements
- Work cross-functionally with Privacy, Legal, Security, and RAI Science to
ensure product decisions align with regulatory obligations, customer trust
requirements, and scientific best practices
- Influence engineering architecture decisions by evaluating technical
trade-offs, understanding system constraints, and ensuring the platform can
scale to support Amazon's AI portfolio
- Develop and present product strategy, roadmaps, and business cases to VP+
leadership — clearly articulating the value proposition and investment rationale
for responsible AI tooling
About the team
Amazon Responsible AI works to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks of
AI technology across Amazon. We define responsible AI through core dimensions —
Fairness, Safety, Privacy, Security, Veracity, Robustness, Explainability,
Transparency, Controllability, and Governance — and we build the tools and
programs that help Amazon's builder teams deliver on those dimensions at scale.
Our team includes Applied Scientists, Amazon Scholars, Security Engineers, TPMs,
SDEs, and policy specialists. We are science-led, independent advisors who
prioritize enablement over enforcement — providing expert guidance and practical
solutions that make responsible AI easy to implement. We are building the next
generation of AI governance infrastructure from the ground up.
