Interested in leading Paid Media marketing for Amazon Credit Cards? Amazon Payments is seeking an experienced, results-driven Sr. Paid Media Manager to own and scale our paid media strategy across both traditional and non-traditional channels — including Out of Home (OOH), streaming TV, online video, audio, print, display and social. This role will serve as the single-threaded owner of paid media channel management for Amazon Payments, driving customer acquisition, engagement, and brand storytelling through data-informed media planning and execution.
The Paid Media Manager will lead end-to-end media strategy, execution, and optimization, translating business objectives into high-impact, multi-channel campaigns that accelerate growth and maximize rewards awareness.

They will own the paid media roadmap for Amazon Payments, developing comprehensive multi-channel strategies that span OOH, streaming TV, online video, social, audio, print, display, and programmatic channels. This role requires strong cross-functional collaboration skills and the ability to influence senior stakeholders autonomously.
