Programming and Categorization Manager, Prime Video Emerging Latin America
Amazon
Miami, FL
Full-timeGeneral LaborPosted August 14, 2026
Want to change the way people watch content online? Help create the future of digital entertainment with Amazon Prime Video! We are changing the way millions of customers enjoy movies and TV shows through Amazon Prime Video. Our mission is to build the widest selection of video content and make it easy for customers to enjoy great content wherever and whenever they want. To help us fulfill this mission, we are looking for a Programming and Categorization Manager who is customer-obsessed and detail-oriented to help grow Amazon Prime Video across Emerging Latin America (ELA)—a region spanning 16 Spanish-speaking countries, including Argentina (AR), Chile (CL), and Colombia (CO). If you want to operate at start-up speed, solve complex programming challenges, and build a service customers love, Amazon Prime Video might just be the place for you.
The ELA Regional Programming team is responsible for maximizing customer value and engagement across the region through disciplined portfolio planning, data-informed content evaluation, and precise release execution. As Programming and Categorization Manager, you will provide essential operational ownership of the ELA programming calendar and categorization mechanisms, supporting the team's longer-term strategic planning—which is led by a separate team member focused on strategy and portfolio direction.
This role requires independent ownership of day-to-day programming operations. You will manage the local slate, execute scheduling and categorization changes, run programming mechanisms and documentation, and coordinate cross-functionally to keep the calendar on track. The ideal candidate brings operational maturity, strong attention to detail, and the judgment to work effectively across a complex stakeholder base spanning Content, Marketing, Planning, Finance and Business.
This role sits within ELA Business Team and works closely with local programming teams in the LatCan region as well as cross-functional and global partners to ensure seamless execution of programming operations.
Key job responsibilities
* Manage the local slate for ELA, ensuring accuracy in programming systems, tools, and Airtable
* Own the Monthly Programming Document, inclusive of Hub and Demo views, with competitive analysis
* Execute scheduling changes for local key titles (Secondary and Tentpole), including cross-functional communications and downstream alignment
* Content categorization and adjustments to optimize content windowing
* Drive repromotion alignment strategies to deliver engagement
* Deliver Local and Global Slate presentations and screeners to internal stakeholders and partners
* Serve as key POC for partners on title visibility, ads, and programming updates; maintain the Customer-Facing List (upcoming launches, subs/dubs, video assets, key art) and flag updates to CAM
* Act as key POC for Content/Programming systems (e.g. Project Q / GLC...) ensuring the product works for ELA markets and channeling local feedback for adjustments
* Track HVAs, TPS, and PVC% projections for Local and Global content; flag concerns and opportunities specific to ELA
* Deliver WBR inputs, wins, misses, and title-level performance flags
* Contribute content performance and programming inputs to MBR, QBR, and POR business reviews
* Coordinate with global programming teams on regional inputs to planning cycles and content evaluations
* Build trusted relationships across stakeholders in Content, Marketing, Planning, and Finance
* Support senior leaders with materials preparation, analysis, and follow-up
- Experience working with data and leveraging analytics to make decisions
- Experience managing multiple projects, prioritizing, planning, and managing time
- Experience that includes strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and effective communication abilities
- Experience in English-language communication skills, both written and verbal
