Amazon Ads is one of our fastest growing businesses and offers advertisers a rich array of media solutions inclusive of premium Live Sports properties like Thursday Night Football, NASCAR, the NWSL, and the WNBA.

The insights we deliver Live Sports advertisers foster meaningful connections with consumers - from discovery to loyalty - in a unique way versus any other sports media platform at scale.

We believe that Live Sports advertising, when done well, enhances the customer experience with delightful discovery for viewing fans and compelling performance for advertisers.

We seek a seasoned sports sales professional to join our Live Sports Sales team and lead innovative sports media partnerships across holding companies, independent agencies, and clients directly.

They will need to drive budgets through agency strategy teams and buying groups and evangelize the power of Prime Video's growing Live Sports portfolio.

They will also need to partner seamlessly across internal divisions and teams to drive pan-Amazon business results benefiting our viewing fans and advertising customers.
