DESCRIPTION

Amazon Adapt is hiring a Senior Video Sales Specialist, EU5 to service Amazon Ads’ Global Video Advertising & Partnerships organisation.
This role will provide coverage for Video Sales Specialists during leaves of absence across the EU5 countries: United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain and Italy. As the role could cover these locales (UK, DE, FR, IT, ES) there will be an expectation to travel at least one week per month.

The position can be based in any of the following hubs: London, Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Dusseldorf, Milan, Paris, or Madrid.

The Video Sales Specialist (VSS) is an established industry specialist across streaming and video and a crucial contributor to the success of Amazon's video advertising solutions - spanning Prime Video and Live Sport, Twitch, OLV and 3P Video.

The VSS team is part of the Global Video Advertising and Partnership Team (GVAP). Its goal is to deliver video revenue targets through the support of vertical sales teams by promoting Amazon’s video products to drive adoption. As domain specialists, VSS is responsible for providing scalable insight, case studies, and strategic pitches tailored to the unique needs of UK customers. VSS is a customer facing unit (70% of time), not as end-to-end front-line sellers, but as specialists equipped to address complex objections empowering sales through expert knowledge and strategies. This approach fosters a universally deeper understanding of Amazon video products, and through collaboration with the GTM team, it ensures that our go-to-market strategies are fine-tuned to the nuances of EU locales, accelerating product adoption and establishing Amazon as video thought-leaders and a centre of excellence.
