The Prime Video Finance team seeks a Senior Finance Analyst to own the financial planning, wilingness to pay and performance measurement of our performance marketing channels across Digital Evergreen, Paid Search, and Associates. This is a high impact role at the intersection of marketing investment and data driven decision making, responsible for influencing where and how much to spend across these channels, and for tracking the value that investment delivers to the business.
This is an exciting and fast evolving area with significant potential. Performance marketing generates rich data on impressions, clicks, attribution and conversion that only the start! The role will be responsible for building the analytical frameworks and business cases that translate this data into investment recommendations, and for developing the reporting infrastructure that connects spend to measurable business outcomes.
The role would suit a commercially astute and highly analytical finance professional who is comfortable working with large volumes of granular data but also able to step back and frame the strategic case for investment. Experience with digital marketing metrics, programmatic buying, or performance media would be an advantage but is not essential. What matters is the ability to build financial models , construct persuasive business cases, and communicate clearly with both marketing and finance stakeholders.
