We’re building a new category of creative intelligence at Amazon Ads.

Within Creative X and Retail Ad Service, you will serve as the primary advocate for our largest customers—agencies, advertisers, and global partners—ensuring they maximize the value of our generative AI solutions for creative production, personalization, and optimization, while also developing and executing high-impact partnerships with third-party retailers. You’ll collaborate with internal stakeholders across Sales, Partner Development, GTM, Creative Services, Product, and Product Marketing to drive usage, enhance the customer experience, and accelerate product development. Additionally, you’ll identify, negotiate, and manage strategic partnerships with AI technology providers to bring new capabilities to our customers.

-
End-to-end deal experience: structuring and negotiating complex partnership agreements such as advertising deals, complex digital media transactions, and strategic ad technology relationships.
-
Strong financial acumen with the ability to analyze income, balance sheet and cash flow statements. Can construct an operating P&L, model deals, and articulate cost/benefit analyses to key stakeholders.
-
Originate, execute, and manage partnerships to help accelerate product development and add new capabilities.
-
Partner with Account Executives and Partner Development Managers to drive customer engagement and identify growth opportunities.
-
Solicit voice-of-customer and synthesize feedback in digestible formats for use by internal partners in Product and Product Marketing.
-
