The Production Operations team is responsible for delivering high quality event productions on all global live sports properties to customers worldwide, across all Prime Video product lines and devices. We also support our productions through process improvements, scalability, and various initiatives. We work on designing solutions (tools and mechanisms) to manage and support productions globally so our team can work more efficiently and continue to scale.

Key job responsibilities

In this role, you will use your production management and field operations experience to operationalize new property launches and year-over-year sports property restarts.

You will manage the day-to-day operations of event logistics, production content and implement best practices policies and procedures for assigned sports properties to maintain effective workflows and delivery of projects. The PM will be the primary liaison to our Production Service Providers (PSP) ensuring the hiring, scheduling, and deployment (travel requirements), of crew meets our production standards.
