Description

Interested in building business relationships with social media platforms, influencers and content creators? Do you like digging into complex problems with smart, hardworking colleagues, who work in teams across Amazon? Are you self-motivated, with strong ownership, and the ability to work through ambiguity to deliver results?

Amazon's APAC Associates team is seeking a talented, highly motivated and experienced business leader to engage content creators and grow the Amazon Influencer program. This will be a 12 months fixed term contract.

With its network of over 100,000 publishers, the Amazon Associates program is a global leader in online marketing, and one of the largest external paid traffic channels for Amazon. As a customer-obsessed, digital and social media enthusiast, you will develop relationships with top content creators to drive revenue, new customers and awareness for Amazon’s strategic businesses and programs.

Using your deep knowledge of digital and social media, and a solution-oriented mindset, you will develop opportunities for Amazon's APAC businesses across the social landscape.

A bit about you: You are an excellent oral and written communicator, and you possess an analytical approach to business development, leveraging data to drive decisions. You are highly organised, and have the ability to work independently. You're particularly adept at developing strong, one-to-one relationships, and working closely and constructively with internal and external partners. You have experience navigating technical and product requirements and adoption, have the ability to influence technical leaders, and incorporate technical requirements into negotiations and contracts.

Our team operates out of our fabulous CBD office (conveniently located near many transportation options), and from home (during COVID-19) leveraging technology.

Amazon offers employees a competitive remuneration package, including participation in the company stock plan as applicable. We also look after our people with benefits, such as subsidized private health insurance, superannuation and paid parental leave options, amongst others.
