We are looking for a senior strategic communication professional to lead Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios in India.

The successful candidate should demonstrate a track record in executing effective consumer content publicity and corporate communications campaigns for large organizations, and be experienced in handling sensitive issues, acting fast with high judgment, making the right measured decisions, and staying calm.

As the Head of Communications in India, you will lead our corporate, content & consumer brand communications efforts for Prime Video services and Amazon MGM Studios global and original content.

Additionally, as a senior leader within Amazon's broader Communications and Corporate Responsibility (CCR) organization, you will play a crucial role in demonstrating Amazon's positive impact through Prime Video's contributions to the local creative economy.

To succeed in this role, you must have extraordinarily high judgment, energy, creativity, standards for yourself and others, writing, leadership skills and relationships with key media. You must be willing to think long term, without forgetting to manage the short term. You will be responsible for measuring, maintaining and improving the quality of our outreach, in the process working with content, technology and business teams as needed.
Excellent writing skills are imperative for this role. The successful candidate must think and communicate clearly with both local, regional and international colleagues, creating a concise and well-written narrative to express this opinion.
