Prime Video Ads is at the center of monetizing the Prime Video experience—delivering billions of ad impressions across Live Sports, VOD, Channels, and Ad Tier. We are seeking a Sr. Technical Program Manager to lead feature development programs for the Channels team. You will drive ad monetization programs, cross-PVA platform features, and end-to-end delivery with external channel partners—coordinating across PVA engineering teams (Supply, Delivery, Signals, Ad Insertion) and partnering with organizations across Prime Video and Amazon Ads.

About the team

The Channels team within PVA owns ad monetization for Prime Video's add-on subscription channels—building and operating systems for ad decisioning, insertion, and measurement across multiple international marketplaces. What makes this uniquely challenging is that no two partners are the same. Each brings bespoke technical requirements, proprietary ad stacks, and varying levels of ad tech maturity. Our quest is to find common patterns and build scalable, unified solutions that work for all partners while accommodating their individual needs. Strong program management bridges the gap between partner complexity and platform simplicity.
