Sr. Account Executive, CPG, Beauty

Full Job Description

We are seeking a high-performing Account Executive to lead a prestige beauty division within a large beauty portfolio. This is a significant growth opportunity spanning both endemic and non-endemic lines of business, with a largely untapped opportunity to bring prestige fragrance, skincare, and cosmetics brands into Amazon Ads even when their products aren't sold on Amazon.

You will serve as the primary Amazon Ads sales lead for the division, owning full-funnel advertising strategy and revenue growth across the portfolio. You will also co-own Ad Tech workstreams with the Ad Tech AE — driving adoption of Amazon DSP, AMC, clean room capabilities, and Streaming TV across the advertiser's brand portfolio. This role offers the chance to build and shape a high-growth business from the ground up alongside one of the world's most sophisticated advertisers.

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.

In this role, you'll sell Amazon's world-class video, programmatic, and measurement solutions to strategic advertisers, helping them connect brand awareness to business outcomes—from upper-funnel video engagement to lower-funnel results. You'll lead large, consultative deals and long-term commitments, and play a meaningful role in growing a business with significant untapped potential. If you bring a consultative selling style, a strong foundation in video and streaming media and advertising technology, and the drive to build something new, we'd love to hear from you.
