About this role
Amazon MGM Studios Technology is looking for an experienced support leader to own and elevate technical support across the global Studios organization.

As a Prime Video technology leader, you'll have end-to-end ownership of the support organization, its people, and the service delivery outcomes required to keep global Studios productions moving. You'll get to work on problems that are fast-paced, high-visibility, and varied — building and mentoring the team, raising the operational bar, and collaborating with remarkable people. We'll look for you to bring your diverse perspectives, ideas, and leadership to make Prime Video even better for our customers.
Key job responsibilities
Lead, manage, and develop a global support organization — including support managers/leads and their engineering teams — across a 24/7, follow-the-sun coverage model spanning multiple regions.
Own the strategy and execution of key service delivery processes across the content production lifecycle and the global Studios organization.
Own the operational health metrics of the support org (ticket throughput, resolution time, CSAT, gearing/staffing ratios) and drive continuous improvement against them.
Serve as the senior escalation point and the face of support to Studios production personnel and studio executives at all levels.
Set hiring, onboarding, and career-development strategy for the team; build bench strength and grow the next generation of support leaders.
Partner with software development, security, infrastructure, vendors, and other technology teams on enterprise cross-functional initiatives and automation.
Drive operational excellence: root cause analysis, problem management, incident response, and process/documentation standards across the org.
A day in the life
You lead the team that drives the execution and improvement of technical support throughout the content production lifecycle and the global Studios organization. You'll spend your time developing your managers and engineers, reviewing operational metrics and unblocking the queue, owning executive escalations, partnering with cross-functional stakeholders, and setting the strategy that scales support as production volume grows. You balance day-to-day operational ownership with the longer-term investments — staffing, automation, and process — that keep the organization healthy.
