About the position

The Transportation Partner Experience team is seeking an Event Marketing Manager to oversee the planning and execution of expos across our largest programs globally. The ideal candidate has a proven history of managing large scale expos or tradeshows, is a strong project manager capable of overseeing multiple concurrent programs, and is passionate about creating impactful customer experiences. Your responsibility as the expo lead will include working with key business stakeholders to identify the right selection of exhibitors, collaborating with our creative team on application of visual brand identity to expo, partnering with agency teams to identify optimal floor layout and kit of parts, and working with individual exhibitors to design engaging and interactive booths that delight our attendees. This person will be able to effectively own their assigned remit while rolling up their sleeves and getting stuff done - no detail will be too small and they'll never say "that's not my job". They'll obsess over details, anticipate roadblocks before they become issues, embrace ambiguity, and deliver results. The Transportation Partner Experience team (TPX) builds innovative and engaging community-focused products for external Amazon partners like Delivery Service Partner (DSPs). Small businesses are critical to many aspects of Amazon's ecosystem and the TPX team helps these partners be successful by fostering community connections, accelerating learning opportunities, and providing customer feedback mechanisms on program and product initiatives and updates.
