Social Media Manager, Live Sports

Experience starting conversations on social media.

• Creative Marketing and/or Editorial background (either in Entertainment, Sport or lifestyle brands).
• Previous experience reviewing metrics and data to inform decision making.

We’re Amazon Prime Video’s in-house EU Social Media team. Content, Sport & Pop-Culture Junkies at heart. We believe that the best stories empower people and drive meaningful change in the world, one episode or match at a time. Our ambition is to connect authentically with customers through topical & locally-nuanced stories that entertain, delight or inspire. This involves planning, creating, iterating and distributing bespoke Editorial Content in various formats through Social Media platforms. We strive to make our feeds as engaging as the Sports fans love to watch.

We’re peculiar and highly innovative. Curiosity and innovation are highly encouraged and valued. We like to say yes to big thinking, understanding that means taking well-calculated risks and occasionally failing, but always learning. All of us are owners who are in it for the long-term, so we don’t hesitate to roll up our sleeves to get things done. We don’t believe in “That’s not my job”, and focus on doing what’s right for our customers. We like to say that it's always Day 1 — we're constantly looking to re-invent ourselves, breaking things (and building better things) along the way.

You thrive in entrepreneurial cultures where you have tons of ownership, responsibility, and accountability.
