DESCRIPTION

Come build the future with us! What unites all Amazonians (across teams and geographies) is that we are all striving to delight our customers and make their lives easier—whoever that customer may be. In pursuit of delighting customers, Amazonians have developed many products and services that have transformed the way our customers live their lives and run their businesses. Together we are building the future, one innovative product, service, and idea at a time.

Amazon Ads is dedicated to driving measurable outcomes for large brands, small businesses, partners (agencies and advertising software companies) and publishers. Our ad solutions—including sponsored, video, device, and audio ads—leverage Amazon’s innovations and insights to find, attract, and engage audiences throughout their daily journeys. With a range of flexible pricing and buying models, including self-service, managed service, and programmatic ad buying, these solutions help businesses build brand awareness, increase product sales, and more.

Within our Amazon Ads Partner Marketing team, a strategic part of our charter is to build programs and drive initiatives to support third-party partners who help enable brands to advertise more efficiently on Amazon. We are looking for a Sr. Marketing Manager who is highly creative, data-driven and results-oriented. In this role you will help shape and expand a global partner recognition program, focused on highlighting advertising partners who drive value for Amazon advertisers. In this role you will be responsible for managing and scaling a complex cross-functional marketing program to drive recognition of our advertising partners. You will partner with the program lead to help drive existing program initiatives as well as have the opportunity to conceive, build, launch and own new types of recognition initiatives. As this program is still relatively new, you will also have the opportunity to help further define the program priorities, set objectives, analyze data, and drive improvements that are quantified with metrics. Our group functions as a start-up within Amazon, and offers a creative, fast paced, entrepreneurial work environment where you’ll be at the center of Amazon innovation.

The ideal candidate is experienced in creating, writing, and editing content across a range of mediums – program playbooks and 1-pagers, email templates, video scripts and program promotion material distributed across social, own website and email. They also are comfortable analyzing data to measure program effectiveness and identify new areas of opportunity. Previous experience with advertising and/or an award, recognition or incentive program and event management is a plus. A successful candidate will have expert relationship building skills, strong communication (both written and verbal) and an interest in establishing processes that scale.
