We are seeking a Senior Program Manager to support Prime Video International's paid media team across Europe, Latin America

reconciliation, moving tasks to offshore teams
building tools so media managers spend less time on financial admin and more time on decisions. With new AI products emerging, there is opportunity to rethink how these processes work, not just improve them incrementally. Second, you will manage media vendor relationships to ensure we get the best value from our spend — renegotiating contracts, identifying savings
testing new commercial models with partners. You will work across media operations, technology
finance teams to deliver both. You will be goaled on tangible outcomes: reducing media rates, saving hours for media managers, securing credits and additional savings from vendors
maintaining on-time payment rates. The metrics are clear and the impact is measurable.

There is a foundation in place, but plenty of runway — processes need to be aligned across markets, new ones need to be built
the tooling is ready to be pushed further.

Your ability to quickly understand business context and priorities, together with your analytical and problem-solving mindset, will enable you to deliver measurable impact across both operational and commercial initiatives. You are able to simplify complex financial concepts and technical requirements, establishing robust frameworks that accelerate decision-making and provide clarity. Your exceptional attention to detail and ability to maintain accuracy while working with large volumes of financial data will be crucial. You have excellent written & verbal communication skills and demonstrated experience managing multiple large-scale programs simultaneously. You are adept at building positive relationships across technical, financial
business teams, with a strong track record of senior stakeholder engagement. You will push the boundaries by challenging the status quo, driving adoption of automated solutions and new commercial approaches
