We offer customers thousands of popular movies and TV shows from Originals and Exclusive content to exciting live sports events. We also offer our members the opportunity to subscribe to add-on channels which they can cancel at anytime and to rent or buy new release movies and TV box sets on the Prime Video Store. Prime Video is a fast-paced, growth business - available in over 200 countries and territories worldwide. The team works in a dynamic environment where innovating on behalf of our customers is at the heart of everything we do. If this sounds exciting to you, please read on.

Prime Video Live Sports is looking for a Senior Content Manager to manage the lifecycle of our live sports media assets in Europe (EU) and the Rest of the World (ROW). Content comes from many places, such as live match footage, multi-camera iso-feeds, highlights, all with associated metadata, and is stored within Iconik, our media asset management (MAM) platform. We also manage production content for live shows, such as breaks and bumpers, ensuring our vendors are able to access these assets to make their broadcasts.

Live sports generates huge volumes of content on tight turnarounds, so you'll need to balance speed with the long-term discipline of building an archive that's accurate, searchable, user right management, and rights-compliant for years to come.

Key job responsibilities
- Manage ingest, cataloging, and metadata tagging of live sports assets in Iconik, including game/match data, teams, players, camera angles, and time-code
- Own asset quality control: verify technical specs, proxy generation, and rights metadata before content is published and made discoverable
- Work with Vendors to ensure content is uploading to the MAM compliant with our standards and timelines
- Work with Thumbwar to manage vendor tech in edit, storage gateways, MAM technology and user rights for integration with live production
- Partner with live production, highlight teams/vendors, and marketing teams to fulfill fast-turnaround asset requests before, during and immediately after live events
- Maintain and improve sports-specific naming conventions in our MAM to support search and discovery at speed
- Configure and maintain MAM metadata structure, collections, and automated tagging/AI integrations to reduce manual cataloging
- Monitor storage tiers and archive policies for live footage, escalating gaps or at-risk media
- Support post-season or post-event audits of asset libraries to identify duplicates, missing metadata or lost content, finding fixes where possible
- Document and continuously improve live sports archive workflows, including rapid-ingest procedures for live/near-live content

A day in the life
Pre-event, you're confirming that camera feeds and metadata templates are set up correctly in our MAM for the match. During the event, you're managing requests from the highlights team who need a specific content uploaded into the right folders, checking ingests are working and landing in the right folders and working with vendors or Thumbwar to manage any issues. Post-game, you're reviewing the full ingest for completeness and moving to other folders if needed, checking metadata, and updating tagging/ID if new assets have been ingested. The work moves fast during live events and is more methodical in between, but accuracy matters in both as teams across the business are relying on this content being available and easily discovered.


About the team
This role sits in the Prime Video Live Sports, EU team - working along side Content, Workflow and Ingest teams sat in the US as well as Production, Editorial and Technology teams within the EU. There are also wider Amazon teams that will lean on your expertise to manage assets for sponsorship and marketing opportunities on PVLS.

Basic Qualifications:
