At Amazon we continually look for opportunities to invent on behalf of our customers, helping them to find and discover virtually anything they want to buy online. To this end, we have developed products that leverage Amazon’s strength as a world-class eCommerce website and have integrated ads into the shopping experience from first discovery to purchase. Amazon Ads operates at the intersection of ecommerce and advertising, offering a rich array of digital ads solutions with the goal of helping our customers find and discover anything they want to buy. We help advertisers reach Amazon customers on Amazon owned and operated sites and on other high-quality sites across the web. We start with the customer and work backwards in everything we do, including ads. If you’re interested in joining a rapidly growing team working to build a unique and world-class scaled marketing program with a relentless focus on the customer, you’ve come to the right place.

Our key objective is to drive adoption and growth across a range of self-service, cost-per-click advertising products. This will enable small and medium-sized business (SMB) advertisers to engage with customers in meaningful ways. Our team is responsible for making it simple for third-party (3P) and first-party (1P) selling partners to advertise their products. This increased visibility of their offerings benefits both the selling partners and Amazon customers, who can discover a wider selection of products – a win-win!
