Snr Content Acquisition Manager en Madrid

The way we watch video content is changing. Online video services are providing new content in ever exciting and easier ways to watch. At the forefront of this movement is Prime Video, creating and distributing new, innovative and prestigious exclusive content to our customers. Become part of the change, and help develop and define the video content the next generation of Amazon customers will watch.
As a Senior Content Acquisition Manager within Prime Video Spain, you love films and TV, and make it your mission to identify the best possible content to attract, engage and retain our customers. You know that you will have to apply your deep analytical skills to make the case for a given acquisition, both qualitatively (the ‘what’ and ‘where’ and ‘from who’) and quantitatively (the ‘how’ and ‘when’); not just within our business, but as you ultimately enter in negotiations with studios and content creators to procure their best content for Prime Video. And you will own a content category to the point where you will assess the efficacy of your past recommendations, to inform future acquisition decisions and feed into the larger vision we create as a team. You are not afraid to Dive Deep as you uncover data points to prove or disprove your hypothesis, employing XLS and SQL as if they were natural extensions of you.
Your communication skills convince through the clarity of your written argument, having considered alternatives and possible counter arguments. You do not wait for someone to tell you to take ownership; in fact, you do not hesitate to share your proven approach and findings beyond the scope of your role, with peers across the business and even across territories. And most importantly, you know how to prioritize and manage expectations with internal clients and external vendors.
Your day-to-day activities to achieve measurable results will include the following:

· Owning key areas of the Spanish catalogue within Prime Video, contributing to our forward-looking content strategy, budgetary considerations and consequently, recommending content for acquisition
· Understanding the acquisition process, sourcing, evaluating and launching film to reach Prime Video’s goals for film
· Leading and owning all aspects of the content acquisition process, including building analytical models to show value from titles
· Understand and set targets for the performance of your content category within Prime Video

· Ability to translate business problems into analytical tasks and communicate results back to a business audience
· Ability to dive into data and identify useful patterns to solve problems
· Ability to use and modify data tables, access SQL queries and export data
· Good interpersonal skills and client facing attitude
· Can-do attitude and willingness and flexibility to solve problems at short notice, using any tools necessary
· Some level of experience with database programmes/tables and CRM systems

· Experience with SQL authoring and data manipulation
· Experience negotiating large-scale contracts
· Experience licensing third-party media content
