About the Role
Amazon Ads is dedicated to driving measurable outcomes for brand advertisers and agencies. Our ad solutions—including video, display, device ads, audio, and custom ads—leverage Amazon's innovations and insights to find, attract, and engage intended audiences throughout their day. With a range of flexible pricing and buying models, including self-service, managed service, and programmatic ad buying, these solutions help businesses build brand awareness, increase product sales, and more. We start with the customer and work backwards in everything we do, including advertising.
As a Senior Account Executive within the Retail & Recreation Large Customer Sales (LCS) team, you will use your experience selling TV/Video and digital advertising solutions to C-Level clients and their agencies to successfully grow and scale advertising revenues. You will leverage your broad and long-standing client-side and agency relationships within the advertising space, employ a consultative approach, and have a deep understanding of the TV and digital advertising landscape. This includes Prime Video, Live Sports, Device Ads, Twitch, Audio, and Programmatic Video.
You will act as a strategic partner to your assigned clients, selling a broad range of advertising solutions that ensure their business goals are met. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in the apps and mobile gaming space, with a strong understanding of app measurement, mobile measurement partners (MMPs), and the nuances of the in-app advertising landscape. You will be equally comfortable selling both performance-driven and brand-building solutions to advertisers.
