Amazon Studios – Sr International Distribution Manager, Original Movies
Amazon strives to be the world's most customer-centric company, where customers can research and purchase anything they might want online or offline. We set big goals and are looking for people who can help us reach and exceed them.
Amazon Studios launched in 2010 as a new way to develop feature films and episodic series-one that's open to great ideas from creators and audiences around the world. Amazon Studios Original Content is available to Prime members and is known for bringing customers the Golden Globe-winning and Emmy-winning series Transparent and Mozart in the Jungle along with original hits like The Man in the High Castle, The New Yorker Presents, Red Oaks, Hand of God, Bosch, and Catastrophe. Prime members also have access to a collection of Amazon Original series for kids such as Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street, Wishenpoof, Just Add Magic, Annie, and multi-Emmy Award-winning Tumble Leaf.
Amazon Studios' first original movie, Spike Lee's Chi-Raq, premiered in theatres in 2015, and the studio has since released Creative Control, Elvis & Nixon, and Love & Friendship in 2016.
We are now looking for a proven leader to be a Senior International Distribution Manager for our Original Movies program.
