Thoughts on having different resumes for applications to different roles at a firm?

Or do companies see this as disingenuous?

e.g. Amazon- Program Manager : Mentioning managerial high level points
Business Intelligence Engineer : Mentioning SQL and actual hands-on work

Ive always liked this idea in theory, but in practice ive always been too lazy to tailor to each application

Don't see an issue as long as you aren't lying. A resume is meant to highlight your work experience and skills. Makes sense that you would choose to highlight different things for different roles.

I just wouldn't make them so drastically different that it looks like you're 2 different people or that lying.

Tailoring a resume to a role with legit experience isn’t disingenuous

Former recruiter. This is strategy. It’s fine. Just don’t lie. Usually, the order of the KSAs are the order of importance for that role. You should always list your experience in that order. So if they say process improvement as the first essential truncation of the role, you mentioned that with in your first one or two bullets in your current position.

100% better than boiler plate resume. Tailor where / when you can. Nobody is going through comparing your resumes... you’ll be lucky if even one gets a look.
