Principle Technical Program Manager, FAIM (Full Funnel Agentic Intelligence and Models)

Amazon Advertising is building the foundational optimization science that will teach machines to think like advertising strategists — not just configure campaigns, but reason about goals like "how can I make more money." As a Principal Technical Program Manager for the FAIM team, you will own this rare charter from strategy through execution, shaping how Amazon helps advertisers achieve outcomes that today's models cannot.Current state-of-the-art models can set up ad campaigns to a specification, but do not understand advertising strategy well enough to help with the abstract goals that real advertisers ask about. You will develop the strategy and drive execution of the foundational model training plan to close this gap.You will own the program roadmap and sequencing across these pillars, define milestones and success criteria, and drive cross-team alignment across a growing organization of scientists and engineers.
