* Joining Amex Tech means discovering and shaping your contribution to something big. Here, you can work alongside talented tech teams and build a unique career with the Powerful Backing of American Express. With a range of opportunities to work with the latest technologies, and a commitment to back the broader engineering community through open source, our mission is to power your success.

Because Amex Tech is powered by our technology, our culture, and our colleagues.

The Technology organization enables and accelerates the company's growth strategies, delivering global capabilities and services in support of Amex's customers and colleagues, while maintaining 24/7 servicing and availability to ensure uninterrupted, high-quality customer experience. Technology provides the foundation for everything we do in the company while driving differentiation through building and leveraging innovative technology and data insights.

The Enterprise AI Platform organization partners with business and technology teams to shape the Enterprise AI strategy, bring emerging technologies to the forefront, and build scalable, reusable AI platforms. This team plays a pivotal role in enabling American Express to operate as an AI-powered enterprise by equipping teams with the skills, platforms, and seamless deployment capabilities needed to accelerate responsible AI innovation, enhance decision-making, and drive customer impact with speed and scale.

Innovation remains central to evolving our Enterprise AI Platforms. The Applied AI Innovation function will evaluate and apply emerging AI capabilities and partnerships to shape future platform capabilities and accelerate enterprise adoption

The Enterprise AI Platform team builds the foundational capabilities that enable teams across American Express to develop, deploy, govern, and scale AI-powered products and experiences securely and responsibly.

We are seeking an experienced Director of Product Management to own the strategy, multi-year roadmap, investment priorities, delivery, adoption, and measurable outcomes for a portfolio within the Enterprise AI Platform

This leader will determine where enterprise investment can remove common barriers to AI development, translate repeated customer and FDE learnings into reusable platform capabilities, and make deliberate build, buy, partner, and standardization decisions. The goal is to make it materially faster, easier, and more cost-effective for teams across American Express to move AI use cases from experimentation to secure, scaled production.

The Director will partner closely with Engineering, Architecture, Data Science, Security, Risk, and business teams while leading product managers responsible for delivering enterprise-scale AI capabilities.

** What Success Looks Like*
* Success means establishing a clear product strategy and investment thesis for the portfolio; increasing adoption and reuse of common AI platform capabilities; reducing the time, cost, and complexity required to build and operate AI applications; and demonstrating measurable improvements in developer productivity, platform economics, and business value enabled.

+ Identify opportunities to simplify the AI developer journey and establish scalable "paved roads" while preserving teams' ability to innovate.

+ Evaluate emerging AI technologies and ecosystem shifts based on their potential to improve customer outcomes, developer productivity, platform economics, enterprise reuse, and speed to production.

** Roadmap & Investment Prioritization*
* + Own the product roadmap and prioritize investments based on customer value, developer productivity, technical feasibility, scalability, enterprise reuse, platform economics, and business value enabled.

+ Lead product trade-offs and build-versus-buy-versus-partner decisions, including when capabilities should be developed internally, sourced from technology partners, or adopted from open-source ecosystems.

+ Make deliberate choices about where the platform should provide enterprise standards and abstractions versus where product teams should retain flexibility.

+ Align Product, Engineering, Architecture, Security, Risk, and business stakeholders around priorities, investments, and product outcomes.

** Product Development & Delivery*
* + Lead the product lifecycle from discovery through delivery in close partnership with Engineering, Architecture, and Forward-Deployed Engineering teams.
