About The Position

Shape the future of how customers discover and understand related products on
Amazon! We are seeking a Principal Product Manager to define the strategic
vision for how billions of products connect and relate to one another—enabling
customers worldwide to discover, compare, and confidently choose the right
products for their needs.

Amazon's Catalog powers every shopping experience across our platform. As the
authority for product data, we enable customers to find what they're looking for
while empowering millions of selling partners to showcase their products
effectively. Now, we are transforming how customers understand relationships
between products—from finding the right color or size, to discovering compatible
accessories, to comparing bundle and pack configurations, to understanding how
products evolve across generations.

As the single-threaded leader for our Catalog Product Graph initiative, you will
define how the world's largest selection becomes intelligently connected. You
will establish the strategic vision for capturing how brands organize and
merchandize their products, how products relate across categories and brands,
and how customers can seamlessly navigate these relationships—at Amazon catalog
scale, worldwide. This work will power both our established desktop/mobile
shopping experiences and next-generation agentic shopping experiences,
positioning Amazon as the definitive destination for understanding product
relationships.

This role demands someone who thrives in ambiguity. You will often start without
a clearly defined problem, and be responsible for transforming complex retail
business and customer experience challenges into elegant product strategies. You
will influence entire market segments, drive clarity and alignment across
diverse organizations, and balance bold risk-taking with sustainable
architecture. You will join a team of tenured technical and product leaders
working directly in Amazon's core catalog systems and own the end-to-end product
roadmap for this initiative. Your deep retail expertise and understanding of
customer shopping behavior will be essential to delivering measurable impact and
competitive advantage.
