Are you excited about innovating for a billion+ dollar business? Are you an innovative leader who combines marketing and technology? Do you want to help pioneer and scale a high impact, strategic priority for Amazon's consumer business? Are you willing to roll up your sleeves and help build something new from the ground up? Join us to make a difference to how Japanese customers shop online.

The Role:
We are seeking an innovative and result-oriented Marketing Manager (3PP Channel Programs & Marketing Operations) to help pioneer and scale a high impact, strategic project which will help drive the next phase of Amazon's growth in Japan. The role owns and drives a breath of marketing programs across 3PP channels including new channel program development, measurement and analytics, and marketing technology to scale up a new 3PP vertical.

This is a hands-on role with a team that has a startup mentality. You will: (1) Build and own the tools and marketing operations infrastructure to support efficient, automated execution across 26+ partner channels, while working with Account Managers and Partner Marketing to drive partner adoption and compliance of SOPs for these tools. (2) Build and test New Vertical 3PP Channel Marketing Programs for retail stores (e.g. Training, Merchandising) and develop toolkits that can be used across multiple Amazon teams (e.g. Deal Events; Amazon/Prime Engagement; Brand & Campaign). And (3) systematize 3PP measurement across 8 areas as a core input to our performance marketing approach aimed at driving growth and improving program efficiency.

The right candidate combines a "product manager" aptitude with their marketing skill and can leverage that mindset to customize 'off the shelf' marketing operations tools to automate execution and measurement across hundreds of campaigns a year. They're comfortable with multiple verticals and channels (e.g. physical stores, digital marketing, mobile app, paid ATL/BTL advertising) with the ability to build expertise as needed to develop standardized marketing programs across those channels. And they can effectively balance out-of-the-box thinking and innovation for our biggest programs while driving standardization and efficiency for the long tail.
