Interested in leading Acquisition Marketing for Amazon Credit Cards? Amazon Payments is seeking an experienced, results-driven Head of Acquisition to own and scale the acquisition product marketing strategy for the co-branded and private label credit card programs. This role will serve as the single-threaded owner of acquisition marketing - architecting the vision and strategy across the full acquisition funnel, and building, developing, and leading a high-performing team of marketers to deliver measurable growth at scale.
This is a high-visibility manager role that requires product marketing expertise, strong analytical capabilities, and the ability to connect marketing investments directly to customer and business outcomes. The successful candidate will be a blended balance of strategic leader, team builder, innovative thinker, and analyst - equally comfortable setting long-term vision, coaching and developing talent, and diving deep into tactical execution.
The Acquisition team owns end-to-end acquisition marketing strategy, execution, and optimization - translating business objectives into high-impact, multi-channel campaigns that accelerate customer acquisition and drive full-funnel impact. The team owns the acquisition marketing roadmap for Amazon Payments credit cards, developing comprehensive go-to-market plans and communication strategies that engage customers at every point along the acquisition journey. As the manager, this role will define team structure, set performance expectations, attract and retain top marketing talent, and create an environment where team members grow their careers while delivering exceptional results.
This role requires strong cross-functional collaboration skills and the ability to influence senior stakeholders autonomously. The Head of Acquisition will partner closely with Product, Data Science, Finance, Design, PR and Legal, as well as manage relationships with external partners. The ideal candidate will bring proven experience managing and scaling marketing organizations - including hiring, developing, and retaining high-performing marketers - a deep understanding of consumer marketing and a track record of building and executing go-to-market strategies in fast-paced, ambiguous environments. They will possess exemplary written and oral communication skills and the ability to earn trust with and advise senior leadership.
