Communications Manager, Kindle & Fire Tablets, Amazon Devices & Services

Description

Amazon is seeking a creative, and highly proactive Communications Manager to drive press and influencer comms for Kindle and Fire Tablets. In this role, you will execute end-to-end PR & communications strategy and execution for Amazon's Kindle e-reader and Fire Tablet launches and drive proactive campaigns that keep both lines top-of-mind between launch moments. This is not a GTM role—this role requires a leader with passion, creativity, bias for action, and a relentless focus on driving results that map to our business and reputational objectives.

You will craft innovation thought leadership and storytelling that positions Kindle and Fire Tablets as category leaders in digital reading, entertainment, and productivity. You'll translate complex hardware and software capabilities into narratives that resonate with media and customers. You'll also build and maintain relationships with key technology, consumer electronics, education, and lifestyle media contacts — spanning press and influencers — securing high-impact coverage that drives business results.

As part of this role, you'll build trust with cross-functional (and geographically dispersed) partners, including product, engineering, marketing, and executive leadership teams. You will develop integrated communications strategies that align with business objectives and product roadmaps and manage agency relationships and external comms resources to extend your team's reach.
