We are seeking a Senior Manager, Studios Analytics to serve as the primary analytics partner to the Amazon MGM Studios Finance and Strategy organizations. Based in Los Angeles and embedded alongside Studios leadership, you will own the analytics relationship with some of the most senior decision-makers in the content business, translating their most pressing questions about content performance, portfolio strategy, and operational efficiency into rigorous, scalable, data-driven solutions.
In this role, you will lead a team of business intelligence engineers and data engineers dedicated to Studios analytics. You will set the vision for how analytics supports the Studios business, own the prioritization of your team's roadmap, and drive delivery of dashboards, automated reporting, and analytical tooling that give Studios leaders real-time visibility into the performance of their content. You will partner closely with centralized data engineering, product development, and financial reporting teams to ensure your team leverages shared infrastructure, governed datasets, and existing platforms rather than building in isolation. Maintaining consistency across the broader Prime Video analytics ecosystem is critical.
You will be a thought leader for analytics within the Studio. You will represent the analytics function in senior leadership forums, influence how content performance data is structured and surfaced, and raise the bar on how data informs content decisions. You will identify opportunities to automate high-volume, manual workflows, including talent-facing presentations, portfolio summaries, and compliance reporting. You will also drive adoption of AI-powered tooling to accelerate delivery and scale your team's impact.
As a senior leader, you will be responsible for building and developing a high-performing team in Los Angeles. This means recruiting top talent, setting technical standards, and fostering a culture of analytical rigor, speed, and customer obsession. You will manage the full lifecycle of analytics delivery, from problem framing and stakeholder alignment through to production-quality outputs that are trusted by Studios leadership.
The ideal candidate brings deep experience in analytics, business intelligence, or data engineering leadership, with a proven track record of partnering with senior business stakeholders in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. You are equally comfortable diving into the technical details of a data pipeline and presenting insights to a room of VPs. You think holistically across organizational boundaries, build collaborative relationships, and have a bias toward automation and scalable solutions over manual work. Experience in media, entertainment, or content analytics is preferred but not required. What matters most is your ability to translate complex business problems into clear analytical frameworks and deliver results that drive decisions.
