The way we watch video content is changing. Online video services are providing new content in ever exciting and easier ways to watch.

And you will support a content category to the point where you will assess the efficacy of your past recommendations, to inform recommendations to Prime Video leadership regarding future acquisition decisions and feed into the larger vision we create as a team.
Your proficiency with Excel and SQL is advanced and these tools feel like natural extensions of your analytical capabilities. Moreover, you're a problem solver who takes initiative, tackling challenges with enthusiasm and determination.
You possess excellent writing abilities, crafting compelling arguments that address potential counterpoints and alternative perspectives.

- Advising on key areas of the ES catalogue within Prime Video, contributing to our forward-looking content strategy, budgetary considerations and consequently, recommending content for acquisition to senior leadership
- Understanding the acquisition process, supporting sourcing, evaluating and launching film and TV to reach Prime Video’s goals
- Supporting all aspects of the content acquisition process, including building analytical models to show value from titles, analyzing results to drive improvements and collaboration with internal teams on processes to manage content and contracts internally (marketing, public relations, finance, accounting, operations, publishing etc.)
