Senior Talent Relations Manager, Brazil, Talent Relations Amazon MGM Studios

Senior Talent Relations Manager, Brazil

Amazon MGM Studios is seeking a Senior Talent Relations Manager to lead and own the talent relations strategy and execution across Brazil. This role will be the senior regional leader responsible for driving high-impact talent partnerships, shaping the "Home for Talent" positioning in one of Amazon's most important growth markets, and ensuring a world-class experience for on- and off-screen talent throughout the full lifecycle of Amazon Originals.

The Senior Talent Relations Manager will operate as a strategic partner to the Head of Talent Relations, LATAM and will be expected to independently own the Brazil talent ecosystem. This includes building and nurturing senior-level relationships with top-tier talent and their representatives, driving strategic initiatives that elevate Amazon's talent proposition, and representing the Talent Relations function in senior cross-functional conversations. The role requires a leader who can think long-term, influence without authority, and operate with full autonomy in a complex and dynamic market.

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in the Brazilian entertainment industry, has an established network of senior relationships, and demonstrates the strategic judgment needed to navigate high-stakes talent situations. They should be equally comfortable presenting to senior leadership as they are managing the details of a major talent activation.
