Job description

Amazon MGM Studios is one of the largest and most ambitious content studios in the world, producing and acquiring film and television across every genre and geography. The Prime Video Finance Analytics organization supports this business with a centralized team of 40+ technical specialists spanning data engineering, business intelligence, data science, and product development. This team powers the data platforms and reporting that inform how content is planned, evaluated, and optimized across the entire Prime Video portfolio. We are seeking a Senior Manager, Studios Analytics to serve as the primary analytics partner to the Amazon MGM Studios Finance and Strategy organizations. Based in Los Angeles and embedded alongside Studios leadership, you will own the analytics relationship with some of the most senior decision-makers in the content business, translating their most pressing questions about content performance, portfolio strategy, and operational efficiency into rigorous, scalable, data-driven solutions. In this role, you will lead a team of business intelligence engineers and data engineers dedicated to Studios analytics. You will set the vision for how analytics supports the Studios business, own the prioritization of your team's roadmap, and drive delivery of dashboards, automated reporting, and analytical tooling that give Studios leaders real-time visibility into the performance of their content. You will partner closely with centralized data engineering, product development, and financial reporting teams to ensure your team leverages shared infrastructure, governed datasets, and existing platforms rather than building in isolation. Maintaining consistency across the broader Prime Video analytics ecosystem is critical. You will be a thought leader for analytics within the Studio. You will represent the analytics function in senior leadership forums, influence how content performance data is structured and surfaced, and raise the bar on how data informs content decisions. You will identify opportunities to automate high-volume, manual workflows, including talent-facing presentations, portfolio summaries, and compliance reporting.

The ideal candidate brings deep experience in analytics, business intelligence, or data engineering leadership, with a proven track record of partnering with senior business stakeholders in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. You are equally comfortable diving into the technical details of a data pipeline and presenting insights to a room of VPs. You think holistically across organizational boundaries, build collaborative relationships, and have a bias toward automation and scalable solutions over manual work. Experience in media, entertainment, or content analytics is preferred but not required.
