> PMs who develop tools for internal use.

You're thinking of a TPM, not a PM.

I'm pretty sure the delineation of the PM and TPM roles is not internal vs. external customer facing, but where your main skills lie in terms of what you're handling.

PMs are usually more upfront in understanding the customer and the business needs. Whereas a TPM, is more behind, understanding the customer but moreso managing the tech teams and solution architects to deliver the proposed solution.

However, the PM role is fickle, and seemingly no company does it the same as another.
