Business Development Manager – Influencers

Interested in building business relationships with social media influencers, publishers, and content creators? Do you like digging into complex problems with smart, hardworking colleagues who work in teams across Amazon? Are you self-motivated, with strong ownership, and the ability to work through ambiguity to deliver results?

The APAC Performance Marketing & Creator Growth team is seeking a talented, highly motivated and experienced business leader to engage content creators and grow the Amazon Influencer Program, as part of Amazon Associates. This will be a 12 month fixed term contract.

With its network of over 100,000 publishers, the Amazon Associates program is a global leader in online marketing, and one of the largest external paid traffic channels for Amazon. As a customer-obsessed, digital and social media enthusiast, you will develop relationships with top content creators to drive revenue, new customers and awareness for Amazon's strategic businesses and programs in APAC.

Using your deep knowledge of digital and social media, and a solution-oriented mindset, you will develop opportunities for Amazon businesses across the creator landscape.

A bit about you: You are an excellent oral and written communicator, and you possess an analytical approach to business development, leveraging data to drive decisions. You are highly organised, and have the ability to work independently. You're particularly adept at developing strong, one-to-one relationships, and working closely and constructively with internal and external partners. You have experience navigating technical and product requirements and adoption, have the ability to influence technical leaders, and incorporate technical requirements into negotiations and contracts.
