Are you energized by turning the world's most beloved franchises into products fans can hold, wear, and experience in the real world? Amazon MGM Studios is looking for a Senior Consumer Products Licensing Manager to lead strategic licensing partnerships that bring our stories off the screen and into the lives of fans everywhere.
In this role, you'll own complex, multi-territory negotiations with major manufacturers and marquee retail partners — structuring deals that balance creative integrity with commercial ambition. You'll build multi-year franchise roadmaps, identify untapped opportunities before anyone else sees them, and partner across content, marketing, retail, and legal to launch merchandise programs that fans love and that drive meaningful growth. You'll also mentor the next generation of licensing talent and represent our business in senior leadership reviews and external partner summits.
If you thrive on navigating ambiguity, building partnerships that matter, and making data-driven decisions that shape the future of a global licensing portfolio, we want to hear from you.
Key job responsibilities
Strategic Deal Structuring & Negotiation
- Lead complex, multi-territory licensing negotiations with major manufacturers and strategic retail partners
- Structure deals encompassing royalty rates, minimum guarantees, advance payments, and performance milestones
- Negotiate renewal terms and drive expansion opportunities with existing partners to grow revenue and portfolio breadth
Franchise Strategy Development
- Manage a portfolio of strategic titles and franchise licensing partnerships
- Build multi-year licensing roadmaps aligned with content release schedules, marketing campaigns, and audience growth targets
- Identify untapped category opportunities and prioritize expansion based on audience insights and competitive analysis
- Lead cross-functional franchise planning sessions with content, marketing, retail, and legal teams
Data-Driven Insight & AI-Enabled Decision-Making
- Leverage data analysis, business intelligence tools, and dashboards to identify licensing opportunities, forecast revenue, and measure partner impact
- Apply AI tools to accelerate deal analysis, market research, and reporting workflows, and champion automation that improves team efficiency
- Use AI/ML-driven insights (e.g., audience segmentation, product and category trends) to inform franchise strategy and portfolio decisions
Partner Performance & Portfolio Management
- Establish KPIs and performance benchmarks for licensing partners; conduct quarterly business reviews with top accounts
- Drive growth through proactive portfolio optimization across product categories, price points, and distribution channels
- Manage underperforming partnerships, including escalation planning, remediation strategies, and termination when required
Team Leadership & Mentorship
- Mentor and coach junior team members on deal negotiation, partner management, and franchise strategy best practices
- Contribute to team processes, operational playbooks, and best-practice documentation to drive consistency and efficiency
- Represent the licensing team in cross-functional planning meetings, senior leadership reviews, and external partner summits
A day in the life
No two days look the same in Consumer Products Licensing. You might start your morning in a quarterly business review with a top apparel licensee, and map the next wave of product launches to an upcoming season premiere. By midday, you're deep in a negotiation — structuring minimum guarantees and territory rights for a multi-market toy deal — then pivoting to a cross-functional franchise planning session where you align content, marketing, and retail partners around a shared roadmap. In the afternoon, you might review product designs for brand and creative consistency, coach a teammate through a tricky partner conversation, and prepare a crisp recommendation for senior leadership on an untapped category opportunity you've identified. You move fluidly between strategic thinking and hands-on execution, always anchored in data and the fan experience.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Licensing Specialist
Align your degree to the role
Licensing Specialist positions require a degree in a directly related field, such as law, business administration, or regulatory compliance. A general degree paired with unrelated experience won't satisfy the specialty occupation standard USCIS applies to E-3 visa petitions.
Target regulated industries with active LCA filings
Financial services, healthcare, technology, and pharmaceutical companies file LCAs regularly for licensing roles. Searching DOL's Foreign Labor Application Gateway by job title and industry lets you identify employers already familiar with the E-3 sponsorship process.
Use Migrate Mate to find sponsoring employers
Finding Licensing Specialist roles with confirmed E-3 sponsorship is the hardest part of the search. Migrate Mate surfaces employers with active E-3 filing history so you're not cold-applying to companies that have never sponsored an Australian professional.
Request an LCA before resigning your current role
Your employer must file and receive a certified Labor Condition Application from DOL before you can apply at the consulate. Confirm LCA filing is underway and allow at least seven business days for DOL certification before booking your visa appointment.
Prepare a credential equivalency letter early
Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees, but your employer may need a formal credential evaluation to document this for USCIS. Get this assessment done before the offer stage to avoid delays.
File your E-3 paperwork end-to-end with one service
LCA filing, DS-160 completion, and consulate preparation each have distinct requirements and sequencing. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to manage the entire process from offer acceptance through your consulate appointment without missing a step.
E-3 Visa Licensing Specialist: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Licensing Specialist jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Standard job searches rarely filter for E-3 sponsorship specifically. Migrate Mate is built for this search, letting you find Licensing Specialist roles at employers with confirmed E-3 filing history. This removes the guesswork of cold-applying to companies unfamiliar with Australian visa sponsorship and shortens your job search significantly.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Licensing Specialist role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
It depends on how the role is defined. USCIS requires that the position normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as regulatory affairs, law, or business compliance. A generalist licensing coordinator role that accepts any degree may not qualify, while a senior compliance-focused licensing role tied to a specific discipline typically does.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Licensing Specialist roles?
The E-3 has no annual lottery, no cap, and can be approved at the consulate within weeks of receiving a certified LCA. The H-1B visa requires entering a lottery with roughly a one-in-three selection chance before any processing begins. For Australian professionals in licensing roles, the E-3 is a faster and more predictable path to U.S. employment.
Can I change employers mid-visa on an E-3 as a Licensing Specialist?
Yes, but you can't simply transfer your existing E-3 to a new employer. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL and you'll need to apply for a new E-3 visa, either at a U.S. consulate or by filing for a change of status if you're already in the U.S. Start the process before leaving your current role to avoid gaps in work authorization.
