The Premium Content Production team within Amazon Brand Innovation Lab is looking for a talented, passionate Sr Content Producer with a track record of delivery, ownership, and support of award-wining, on-time, and on-budget executions of video projects supporting our Prime Video Sponsor content. The Sr Content Producer will be part of the Premium Content Production team and help scope, win and execute unique deliverables for our advertising customers. They will lead strategically in scoping video production projects in terms of ballpark, feasibility, logistics, and creative vendor resourcing.

The Sr Content Producer will join a supportive team that thrives on true collaboration, and encourages/rewards taking initiative creatively and strategically.


Key job responsibilities
* Become the Creative Directors’, Art Directors’, and Copywriter’s closest partner. You are in the loop early within the pitch phase, contributing ideas and shaping the production deliverables based on the CD’s, AD’s, and Writer’s vision, the client brief, and timeline/budget realities. Rather than a one-time check-in point, this partnership starts during pitching and continues through advertiser touch points (presentations) and deliverables execution.
* Confidently plan production logistics and scope production (content) deliverables on complex projects: including production budgets, detailed timelines, and deliverables tech specs.
* Identify, vet, hire, and manage all 3P production vendors for any given production, regardless of scope and complexity.
* Manage the entire production process through final delivery of assets: 3P production vendor bidding, pre-production (casting, location scouting, set designs, etc.), production (live action shoots, animation, CG development), and post-production (offline and online editing, scoring, sound mixing, etc.)
* Work internally with Legal, Finance, Ad Policy, and Amazon PR teams to create scalable processes and drive best practices for creating, clearing, and publishing custom content.
* Have an understanding of production pricing benchmarks.
* Have an understanding of legally engaging union/non-union talent and social media influencers, as well as licensing music or any other content.
* Drive cohesion and influence cross-team collaboration between various stakeholders, both within Amazon and beyond — to successfully deliver on your productions.
* Have an understanding of Adobe Creative Cloud and, ideally, a passion for film editing, music, and/or any other aspect of filmmaking.
* Anticipate and effectively mitigate problems; and consistently communicate to stakeholders about updates on progress, relevant delays or issues and budget implications.
* Establish and actively participate in creating department mechanisms and SOPs.
