  The way we watch video content is changing. Online video services are providing new content in ever exciting and easier ways to watch. At the forefront of this movement is Prime Video, creating and distributing new, innovative and prestigious exclusive content to our customers. Become part of the change, and help develop and define the video content the next generation of Amazon customers will watch.
  
  As Senior Content Acquisition Manager within Prime Video, you love films and TV, and make it your mission to identify the best possible content to attract, engage and retain our customers in the Benelux. You know that you will have to apply your deep analytical skills to make the case for a given acquisition, both qualitatively (the ‘what’ and ‘where’ and ‘from who’) and quantitatively (the ‘how’ and ‘when’).
  And you will focus on a content category to the point where you will assess the efficacy of your past recommendations, to inform recommendations to Prime Video leadership regarding future acquisition decisions and feed into the larger vision we create as a team.
  Your proficiency with Excel and SQL is advanced and these tools feel like natural extensions of your analytical capabilities. Moreover, you're a problem solver who takes initiative, tackling challenges with enthusiasm and determination.
  
  You possess excellent writing abilities, crafting compelling arguments that address potential counterpoints and alternative perspectives. Your collaborative approach is matched by your excellent stakeholder management skills, as you balance priorities while managing expectations of both internal teams and external partners.
  
  
  
  Key job responsibilities
