Do you love books and authors? Do you like challenging the status-quo and are looking to lead transformative initiatives that make a tangible impact on authors, publishers, and readers? Are you a customer-obsessed marketing professional with a passion for solving problems and driving an innovative and fast-growing business?
Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) has revolutionized reading and the way authors of any level can engage the millions of readers that shop on Amazon.

This role will operate at the intersection of product, marketing, and customer success, working with a range of launch partners to influence roadmaps, execute campaigns, remove barriers to adoption, and measure and report on KPIs. Flexibility and the ability to prioritize in a changing business environment will be key to success. Our team culture is goal-oriented, collaborative, and driven to achieve results. We seek an individual who is motivated by a fast-paced and highly entrepreneurial environment.
