Communications Manager, Kindle & Fire Tablets, Amazon Devices & Services

Amazon is seeking a creative, highly proactive Communications Manager to drive press and influencer communications for Kindle and Fire Tablets. In this role, you will execute end-to-end PR and communications strategy and execution for Amazon's Kindle e-reader and Fire Tablet launches, driving proactive campaigns that keep both lines top of mind between launch moments.

You will craft innovation thought leadership and storytelling that positions Kindle and Fire Tablets as category leaders in digital reading, entertainment, and productivity. You'll translate complex hardware and software capabilities into narratives that resonate with media and customers, and build and maintain relationships with key technology, consumer electronics, education, and lifestyle media contacts—including press and influencers—to secure high-impact coverage that drives business results.

As part of this role, you'll build trust with cross-functional, geographically dispersed partners, including product, engineering, marketing, and executive leadership teams. You will develop integrated communications strategies that align with business objectives and product roadmaps, and manage agency relationships and external communications resources to extend your team's reach.
