DESCRIPTION
Amazon Advertising operates at the intersection of e-Commerce and Advertising, offering a rich array of digital and video advertising solutions with the goal of helping our customers find and discover anything they want to buy. We help advertisers reach Amazon customers across our owned and operated sites, on other high-quality sites across the web, and on millions of Kindles, tablets, and mobile devices. We start with the customer and work backwards in everything we do, including Advertising. If you’re interested in joining a rapidly growing team working to build a unique, world-class advertising group with a relentless focus on the customer, you’ve come to the right place!

A DAY IN THE LIFE
Our team’s mandate is to be customer obsessed building brands with video content creation programs using our third-party partnerships and in-house video teams. Our current program(s) are defining and delivering full video creation capabilities for advertisers. This Producer will be responsible for managing and evolving brand production mechanisms and processes including scorecards, ‘creative bars’ and creative best practices based on Amazon specific requirements to help emerging advertisers reach new customers with video in Europe. This will include searching for new third-party partners and overseeing all aspects of production and post production at scale, with both first and third-party partners. Ensuring each video project is completed on time, within budget and compliant with our policies in an effective and efficient manner is key. This includes a deep understanding of multiple production, media management and post production pipelines (including attendance of kick-off-calls, briefs, concepts, and feedback related to editorial post-production, visual effects, audio mixing, finishing, motion graphic design and animation). As the team and programs develop, the Producer will be asked to take on Creative Direction elements of projects. You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. This means anticipating bottlenecks, making tradeoffs and balancing the needs of various key stakeholders. Analytical abilities are necessary to track adoption, create mechanisms to measure success, and serve as the “go-to” resource for all technical and creative video specifics.
