Our mission is to accelerate innovation by abstracting complexity - allowing Journey teams to focus on delivering customer value while the Platform team delivers the scalable foundations that make it possible. We are seeking a hands-on, technically fluent Product Manager who is passionate about building platforms that underpin the digital application experiences used by millions of customers across Amex's global ecosystem.
