The Audio and Podcast advertising business is complex, serving many different publisher partners, consumer end points, and advertiser cohorts. We are on the precipice of scaled growth, moving to a multi-publisher tech platform, and evolving our products and selling motion to make our ad products relevant and easy to buy for all Amazon advertisers. You will help lead this transformation, working with engineering partners, Sales, Go-to-Market, and demand programs across Amazon Ads. You will also partner closely with publisher teams (Twitch, Amazon Music, Wondery) and influence consumer facing roadmaps to align on monetization opportunities.

We are looking for decisive leader who is customer-obsessed with sharp business acumen, a track record of building alignment across functional organizations and leadership, and a knack for easily identifying customer pain points and how to address them with scalable solutions. An ideal candidate should be able to flex between technical programs with different engineering teams, and collaboration with more business-oriented teams (e.g., analytics).
