Social Media Manager

Seattle, WA

Amazon is seeking a high judgment, well-organized, self-motivated, and creative digital communicator to manage organic social media within Amazon’s communications organization. 


The Global Social Media team oversees dozens of Amazon social accounts across the world on Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok, and LinkedIn. This role is on the Seattle-based North America team, which manages the "flagship" @Amazon handles (plus a few others). As a social media manager, you will plan and execute engaging, informative, entertaining, and community-building social content to strengthen Amazon’s corporate reputation by communicating business priorities to customers. This involves working closely with PR teams on topics as diverse as retail, artificial intelligence, sustainability, entertainment, and many more – to drive impressions, engagements, and follower growth. At the same time, you’ll measure performance, set benchmarks, and continue optimizing channels through data and insights. 


This position is based at our Seattle, WA headquarters.


As a successful candidate, you'll have a proven track record of rolling up your sleeves to strategize and execute bar-raising social content with data-driven, measurable results.


You should live and breathe social, meaning you’re familiar with the full spectrum of social formats (text-only, photos, short- and long-form video, animations, memes, etc.) and tactics (creators/influencers, partnerships, community management, issues management, etc.).


You should also have an intimate understanding of the current digital/social media landscape, be a strategic thinker, goal oriented, and enjoy working in a fast-paced, start-up culture.


This is a role that requires both strong creative and analytical chops – on a team that works hard and has fun.

  • Social Series Development: Develop and execute content series across Amazon’s verticals and priorities (e.g., sustainability, devices, entertainment, AWS, etc.). 
  • Measurement and Evaluation: Collect, interpret, and report social data/analytics through native and third-party tools. Leverage that data as a flywheel to drive continual improvement of content against benchmarks.
