A day in the life
You will be responsible for monitoring the production processes. Ensuring each video project is completed on time, within budget and compliant with our policies in an effective and efficient manner is vital to the role. You will partner with program, product, and account teams by evolving brand production mechanisms and processes including scorecards, 'creative bars', and case studies based on Amazon-specific requirements to help emerging advertisers reach new customers with video. This includes an understanding of video production, media management and post production pipelines (including attendance of kick-off-calls, briefs, concepts, and feedback related to editorial post-production), along with project management experience. You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. This means anticipating bottlenecks, making trade-offs and balancing the needs of various key stakeholders.
