Principal Product Manager - Tech, AWS Economic Development

Description

Come build a future with the AWS Economic Development Research & Analysis team.

Come build a future with the AWS Economic Development Research & Analysis team. Every year, AWS invests billions of dollars around the world in the newest cloud computing tools, data center infrastructure, and education for cloud-skilled professions. These investments transform local economies — and today, we capture that transformation through robust regional statistics. Now, we're going further: complementing those insights with hyper‑local, rigorous, human‑centered intelligence that answers the questions residents, educators, small business owners, and local leaders care about most.

We're looking for a Principal Product Manager – Technical to build our Hyper‑Local Intelligence Product Suite from scratch — a new class of products that combine rigorous econometric research with human interest storytelling, while scaling our core research products. This is a 0‑to‑1 opportunity to define, build, and scale a product suite that delivers granular, community‑level insights at global scale. You will be the founding product leader and will define the product vision, build the roadmap, and drive execution — owning the full lifecycle from research methodology design through scalable product delivery.

Everything you build must scale through technology to transform what is currently a bespoke, manual research process into a repeatable, tech‑enabled product that can serve hundreds of communities worldwide.

• Define and own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Hyper‑Local Intelligence product suite — a new product line built from scratch, while scaling our core research offerings
• Translate complex economic research into scalable product experiences — design the frameworks, data models, and delivery mechanisms that turn bespoke analyses into repeatable, automated products
• Combine econometric research with human interest storytelling
• Define and instrument success metrics — establish product and business KPIs to measure adoption, impact, stakeholder satisfaction, and operational efficiency
• Drive cross‑functional alignment — work across economists, public policy, public relations, infrastructure planning, and finance teams to ensure the product suite serves both internal and external stakeholders
• Engage directly with community‑level stakeholders — conduct discovery research, validate product‑market fit, and iterate based on feedback from local officials, community organizations, and field teams
• Present to senior leadership

This role sits at the intersection of econometric rigor, product craft, and technical scalability. You must be equally comfortable debating methodologies with PhD economists, writing a product requirements document, and presenting a community impact story to a room of local stakeholders.

As AWS's strategic economic storytellers, the AWS Economic Development Research & Analysis team crafts global, data‑driven narratives spanning three strategic categories:

• Core Research – Economic Impact Studies measuring GDP and job contributions. Fiscal Impact Analyses quantifying tax revenues. Labor Demand Analyses enabling workforce partnerships
• Specialized Research – Energy, water, fiber, and other infrastructure‑adjacent areas
• Hyper‑Local Intelligence – Granular socioeconomic analyses enabling community‑level storytelling

• 8+ years of product or program management, product marketing, business development or technology experience
• Bachelor's degree
• Experience with feature delivery and tradeoffs of a product
• Experience owning/driving roadmap strategy and definition
• Experience with end to end product delivery
• Experience contributing to engineering discussions around technology decisions and strategy related to a product
• Experience technical product management
• Experience with AI/ML technologies

• Experience working directly with Engineers on product enhancements
• Experience in project management methodologies, business analysis, or process improvement
• Experience designing and launching new products from the ground up
