About the position

Amazon Devices is looking for a Sr. Asset Lifecycle Program Manager to join Devices Brand Studio (DBS). DBS exists to define and drive brand love for Amazon Devices & Services through strategic, creative storytelling at a global scale that inspires customers to choose, use, and trust our products. To achieve this, we invest in brand strategy, creative development, operational infrastructure, and AI enhancements to create brand experiences and storytelling that helps customers understand, navigate, purchase, use, and truly enjoy our product and service portfolio. As a Sr. Asset Lifecycle Program Manager, you will play a critical role in shaping the future of our operational infrastructure and use of AI in our workflows.

You will strategize the evolution of asset management to meet the Devices and Services Organization's evolving asset needs while ensuring assets are easily accessible, properly tagged, and secure. You will work alongside Creatives, Designers, Program Managers, Product Managers, and Engineers to develop the vision and roadmap for this program.
