Amazon Music is driving the future of music, audio, and the creator community. From one service, we're delivering versatile ways to listen to the world's music catalog (75MM songs,) along with the world's best podcasts (millions of episodes, including exclusives from Wondery and beyond.) We're also driving diverse ways to watch and engage with the artists in the music and audio community – through music videos, livestreams, merchandise, and so much more. We're available across voice, mobile, web/desktop, tablet, and TV devices, along with integrations across 3P speakers, TV devices, wearables, and cars (through Apple Car Play, Android Auto, direct manufacturer integrations.)
We are looking for a leader who's driven to invent the future, while working through and building an ever-more efficient and high-quality global team of cross-functional product design, marketing and subscription design, and editorial designer experts (along with top-notch specialists in Front-End Engineering, Design Ops, Research & Insights, copywriting, motion design, and sound design.)

You will influence across multiple partner teams, including Consumer Product, Marketing & Growth, Industry Relations, and Special Projects, and cross-functional leaders from Engineering, Product Management, Marketing, Artist & Label Relations, and Editorial & Programming job functions. You will be a key Executive, aligning strategic goals and driving mechanisms to connect those teams' work into a single, holistic, end-to-end experience for our customers.
