Job description

The Premium Content Production team within Amazon Brand Innovation Lab is looking for an experienced, passionate Sr. Producer with a track record of delivery, ownership, and support of award-wining, on-time, and on-budget executions of video and experiential projects. The Sr.

Producer will be part of the Premium Content Production team and help scope, win and execute unique deliverables for our advertising customers, often leveraging proprietary Amazon IP. The Sr. Producer will lead strategically in scoping video production projects in terms of ballpark, feasibility, logistics, and creative vendor resourcing.

An ability to plan ahead and have alternate production solutions is a must. The Sr. 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.
- Plan production logistics and scope production (content) deliverables on complex projects: including production budgets, detailed timelines, and deliverables tech specs.
- 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, experiential live event), and post-production (offline and online editing, scoring, sound mixing, etc.)
- Take initiative when roles and responsibilities are undefined, providing clarity and direction to ambiguous creative situations.
- Identify, vet, hire, and manage all 3P production vendors for any given production, regardless of scope and complexity.
- 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 with external 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.

Amazon.com, Inc., commonly known as Amazon, is an American multinational technology company. It was founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994 and initially started as an online marketplace for books. Since then, Amazon has expanded its operations and become one of the largest e-commerce companies in the world. Amazon's primary business is its online retail platform, where customers can purchase a vast array of products, including electronics, clothing, books, home goods, and much more. The company offers a convenient and user-friendly shopping experience, with features such as fast shipping, customer reviews, and personalized recommendations. In addition to its e-commerce platform, Amazon has diversified its business into various other areas. One of its notable ventures is Amazon Web Services (AWS), a comprehensive cloud computing platform that provides services such as storage, compute power, and database management to individuals and businesses. AWS has become a leader in the cloud computing industry, powering many websites and applications worldwide. Amazon has also developed its own consumer electronics, including the popular Amazon Kindle e-reader, Fire tablets, Fire TV streaming devices, and the Alexa-powered Echo smart speakers. The Alexa voice assistant, integrated into these devices, allows users to interact with their devices using voice commands, perform tasks, and access information. Furthermore, Amazon has expanded into media and entertainment. It operates Prime Video, a streaming service that offers a wide range of movies, TV shows, and original content. Amazon Music provides a platform for streaming and purchasing digital music, while Audible offers audiobooks and other audio content.
