Come build the future with us! What unites all Amazonians (across teams and geographies) is that we are all striving to delight our customers and make their lives easier—whoever that customer may be. In pursuit of delighting customers, Amazonians have developed many products and services that have transformed the way our customers live their lives and run their businesses. Together we are building the future, one innovative product, service, and idea at a time.

Amazon Advertising is dedicated to driving measurable outcomes for brand advertisers, agencies, authors, and entrepreneurs. Our ad solutions—including sponsored, display, video, and custom ads—leverage Amazon’s innovations and insights to find, attract, and engage intended audiences throughout their daily journeys. 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 are looking for an Event Manager with exceptional experiential marketing and project management skills to support events worldwide within the advertising team at Amazon. This is an opportunity for a dynamic, driven event marketer to join our global events team to concept and build programs and execute events that enable our worldwide sales teams and brand marketing strategies. This is an opportunity to join a growing team and make a significant contribution to build world-class activations for our advertising customers. To be successful in this role you will need to be creative and driven to deliver high-quality customer-facing events. You should be dedicated to continually testing, measuring, and evolving your event programs.

In this role, you will join an event team to support sales enablement events supporting the international sales teams covering Mexico, Australia, United Arab Emirates, Netherlands, and more. The role will work on hosting medium to large sized summits for brands and agencies to learn about Amazon in new and emerging locales. Our events feature advertising best practices, customer case studies, and inspire action for advertisers to engage their sales consultants in annual planning and new product adoption. As part of owning sales enablement events for international expansion, this role is responsible for event program management, logistics, internal communications, and event tech and tool integrations (such as CVent) for the events executed. This role will require strong collaboration and influencings skills as you will partner across stakeholder teams across various locales as you define program and sponsorship needs. You will occasionally support on-site execution events, but in most cases will be coordinating logistics and developing execution playbooks for local sales teams to own. You will be responsible for post-event wrap ups and reporting. To be successful you will need to establish clear processes, set prioritization, be able to write and communicate effectively, and work across time zones. The right candidate will be a self-starter and have strong interpersonal, project management, and analytical skills.

The ideal candidate will be metrics-driven, with strong ownership, hustle, and focus. You will need to be able to prioritize effectively and communicate clearly and persuasively to senior stakeholders. This person should be able to deliver results and program excellence within the events they own, with the support of colleagues in marketing, sales, and product teams.
