As a Senior Content Acquisition Manager within Prime Video, you love films and TV, and make it your mission to identify the best possible content to help attract, engage and retain our customers in Spain and Portugal. You know that you will have to apply your deep analytical skills to make the case for a given acquisition, both qualitatively (the ‘what’ and ‘where’ and ‘from who’) and quantitatively (the ‘how’ and ‘when’). You will support the content category to the point where you will assess the efficacy of your past recommendations, to inform recommendations of Prime Video Leadership regarding future acquisitions decisions and feed into the larger vision we create as a team. You are not afraid to Dive Deep as you uncover data points to prove or disprove your hypothesis, employing XLS and SQL as if they were natural extensions of you.

Your communication skills convince through the clarity of your written argument, having considered alternatives and possible counter arguments. You do not wait for someone to tell you to take ownership; in fact, you do not hesitate to share your proven approach and findings beyond the scope of your role, with peers across the business and even across territories. And most importantly, you know how to prioritize and manage expectations with internal clients and external vendors.
