Senior Programmatic Solutions Consultant - Technical, Amazon Ads Global Sales

DESCRIPTION

Amazon Advertising is dedicated to driving measurable outcomes for brand advertisers, agencies, authors, and entrepreneurs. Our ad solutions - including sponsored, display, video, and custom ads - leverage Amazon's innovations and insights to find, attract, and engage intended audiences throughout their daily journeys. With a range of flexible pricing and buying models, including self-service, managed service, and programmatic ad buying, these solutions help businesses build brand awareness, increase product sales, and more. Within Amazon Advertising, the Ad Tech Sales and Services team is focused on developing strategic partnerships across advertising agencies and direct clients. At the center of our partnerships with customers are meaningful and scalable technology partnerships, of which services are a core constituent.

Our Amazon DSP team is looking for a Senior Programmatic Solutions Consultant - Technical to join Amazon Advertising's growing team based in Milan.

In this role, you will independently resolve customer campaign execution issues and blockers by providing knowledgeable and responsive technical support to our enterprise customers: programmatic trading desks.

This is a complex environment, as you will own the most critical part of the customer experience and deliver on our customers' most basic need. While we obsess over incident response, in this role you will also develop tools to scale our service quality, and provide critical input for product prioritization to address root causes of why the customer experienced an incident in the first place. Our advertising customers are likely Amazon customers, and we take seriously maintaining the high customer service bar set by Amazon.
