Director - Digital Product Management - Developer Platform
We’re looking for a deeply technical Director of Digital Product Management to help drive the strategy, vision, and execution of Amex’s Developer Platform. You’ll help shape and deliver a portfolio of products that reduce risk, accelerate delivery, and improve satisfaction for thousands of developers by removing friction from the software development lifecycle.
You’ll lead through influence, ship through ambiguity, and work side by side with developers to make smart technical bets. You’ll need the judgment to see around corners, the clarity to simplify complexity, and the credibility to operate as a peer to senior engineers and technical leaders.
Responsibilities
+ Collaborate with senior leadership, the developer community, and partner teams to shape and deliver the Developer Platform’s vision, strategy, and roadmap.
+ Own a portfolio of internal and commercial products that reduce developer toil, improve SDLC consistency, and accelerate delivery across the Technology organization.
+ Lead and develop a team of product managers, creating a high-performance culture grounded in ownership, impact, and developer empathy.
Who you are
+ You earn trust with developers. Through direct engagement, data, and hands-on exploration, you speak their language, understand their workflows, and know their pain points.
+ You see the big picture. You understand that developer experience is a system, and you make better decisions by staying aware of the full landscape and wider enterprise goals.
+ You drive focus. Using meaningful metrics and developer feedback, you identify and prioritize initiatives that provide sustained value.
+ You build people and partnerships. Not just on your immediate team, but across engineering, infrastructure, and risk. People do their best work when they work with you.
+ You can make people believe. You are an advocate, adept at building engaging narratives for targeted audiences that clarify the complex, illustrate value, and frame structure around the ambiguous.
Qualifications
+ Experience building and leading technical products, ideally developer-facing platforms or tools at scale.
+ Fluency in software development practices and tools, including IDEs, GitHub, CI/CD, and cloud-native architecture. You don’t need to be a senior-level developer, but you should be comfortable using a CLI.
+ Ability to collaborate with engineers as a peer. You’re comfortable discussing tradeoffs in technical architecture and system design.
+ Demonstrated leadership in product (direct or indirect). You have a track record of elevating others and shaping high-performing teams.
+ You communicate with purpose and impact, tailoring narratives to the audience to build alignment, inspire belief, and drive toward shared goals.
Qualifications
Salary Range: $150,000.00 to $225,000.00 annually bonus equity (if applicable) benefits
The above represents the expected salary range for this job requisition. Ultimately, in determining your pay, we’ll consider your location, experience, and other job-related factors.
We back you with benefits that support your holistic well-being so you can be and deliver your best. This means caring for you and your loved ones' physical, financial, and mental health, as well as providing the flexibility you need to thrive personally and professionally:
