Prime Video brings together the world’s best creators with the most passionate communities in a way that no other entertainment brand can. Not only are we a one-stop hub for distinctive, critically-acclaimed and award-winning original programming including TV series such as The Boys, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Jack Ryan and movies like Borat Subsequent MovieFilm, Coming 2 America, Cinderella, and The Tomorrow War, but we offer a multi-dimensional experience that allows subscribers to fully immerse themselves in their fandom: to read the book, to listen to the soundtrack, to buy the costume, to replay live sports in real time, and more. And that breadth and connection to the Amazon family of brands, along with the support of a passionate and diverse global team, makes Prime Video a company where creators and makers of all kinds can build their future.
Prime Video is seeking a Senior Launch Manager to join our Global Operations Programs & Strategy (OPS) team to help define and scale on-time, error-free title launches on Prime Video. This role will be working within the Global Operations Programs & Strategy group, working on behalf of customers around the globe for Prime Video US. This team works in close partnership with the Localization, Storefront Strategy and Business Operations teams, as well as Amazon Studios, Prime Video International, Prime Video US, and PV Technology teams.
As a Senior Integrated Launch Manager, you manage the full lifecycle of complex product marketing initiatives for US titles that launch on Prime Video. You develop, execute and steward these initiatives with clear objectives, priorities, measurement and deliverables and consider how your initiatives impact customer experience and business outcomes. You effectively communicate the marketing objectives, strategy, and milestones to senior leaders and key stakeholders, and you are skilled at establishing alignment amongst them. You use high judgment to identify gaps, anticipate risks, and drive toward solutions, all while considering how and when to escalate effectively. You are comfortable making tradeoffs between short term and long-term needs and find excitement in scaling strategies across teams. You are a strong leader who can prioritize well, communicate clearly and compellingly, and challenge existing models to introduce innovative thinking with strong customer focus.
You understand how to drive a high level of focus and operational excellence across teams and stakeholders to achieve business goals. You are willing and able to handle administrative day-to-day responsibilities while contributing to process planning and rollouts for future growth potential and efficiency.

– Own a portfolio of titles within a given region or vertical. While multiple teams (internal or external) are involved at different times along the launch journey, you will oversee the quality of the launch within your local region or market.
– Be an expert of the Prime Video platform and advise on means to improve how customers interact with each asset or launch.
– Constantly evaluate our workflows with the intention of improving our efficiency and effectiveness in launching titles. Troubleshoot urgent issues cross-functionally and jump in operationally as needed, in service of the member experience.
