- Experience working cross functionally with tech and non-tech teams.
- Background in content production and/or content roles within audio, digital media, interactive, gaming, or technology-led environments — with experience delivering complex projects involving both creative and technical dependencies.
- Understanding of production and post-production pipelines, ideally in original content or podcasting environments.
- Experience managing multiple concurrent workstreams with direct accountability for schedules, budgets, vendor relationships, and delivery outcomes.
- Experience with production and project management tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Airtable, Confluence).
- Experience with modern technology and tooling in content creation and digital product development — sufficient to bridge between content creative & content production as well as product and engineering teams.
- Experience communicating across disciplines, translating between creative, product, and technical audiences at varying levels of seniority.
- Lead delivery of technology-driven content experiences and product prototypes from concept through delivery — owning timelines, resources, and risk across a portfolio scaling from initial projects to multiple concurrent workstreams, working cross-functionally with production, Content Innovation Lead and Product and Tech teams
- Translate creative and research ideas into clear production plans, partnering with the Head of International and Innovation, the Content Innovation Lead, and the Content Production team to scope, prioritize, and execute initiatives in partnership with Product and Design
- Coordinate cross-functional contributions from product managers, engineers, data scientists, and content teams across regions — keeping content workstreams aligned, unblocked, and moving at pace, and building consensus when priorities compete
- Stay on top of emerging technologies and creative tools, helping design production pipelines that integrate automation and experimental workflows into Audible's content creation process
- Capture learnings, synthesize insights, and represent the team's work in business reviews and senior leadership forums with clarity and credibility
- Experience working in streaming, audio, gaming, interactive narrative, or broader entertainment-tech contexts, particularly with immersive or non-linear content formats.
- Experience knowing when to resolve issues independently and when to escalate — bringing a clear recommendation and path forward.
- Experience defining and tracking success metrics to measure project outcomes and inform prioritization.
- Hands-on experience with creative coding, prototyping tools, scripting (e.g., Python, JavaScript), or automation in media workflows is a nice-to-have.
- Experience operating in 0-to-1 or emerging format work — building process and structure in ambiguous, fast-moving experimental spaces.
- Familiarity with product development workflows, including product design, UX/UI, and discovery processes — sufficient to anticipate dependencies across creative, design, and engineering teams.

↑ 1%Amazon's stock has lagged despite strong operational performance, with AWS posting 36.7% growth, its fastest in 18 quarters. The advertising business reached $19.8 billion quarterly revenue, growing 26%, while the chips unit hit a $25 billion annualized run rate. Shares trade at $251.89, up just 9.13% year to date, well below the 52-week high of $287.20. The stock trades at an 18x forward multiple, below its five-year average. Two factors weigh on sentiment: Amazon guided to roughly $200 billion in 2026 capital expenditure for AI infrastructure, whilst trailing free cash flow turned negative at $7.6 billion. Additionally, news of an inquiry into a fatal Miami plane crash involving Amazon operations pressured shares. Wall Street remains bullish, with a consensus target of $328.17 backed by 59 buy ratings and just 2 holds.
Peter Thiel's hedge fund, Thiel Macro, made Amazon its largest investment in the second quarter, allocating 28% of its portfolio to the tech giant. This marked a notable shift for the fund, which held no stocks in the first quarter. The investment focuses on Amazon's artificial intelligence infrastructure through Amazon Web Services. AWS now accounts for 60% of Amazon's operating profits despite representing only 21% of revenue, demonstrating superior margins compared to the company's commerce business. AWS has shown accelerating growth, with its rate climbing to 37% from the low-20% range earlier in 2025. The company is investing hundreds of billions of pounds into AI data centres to meet unprecedented demand for computing power. Thiel Macro's remaining investments were concentrated in energy companies, reflecting a strategy focused on AI infrastructure and the power needed to support it.
Amazon shares fell 7% last month despite Amazon Web Services growing 37% year-over-year, its fastest pace in 18 quarters. Loop Capital's Rob Sanderson maintains a street-high $405 price target, implying 61% upside from the current price near $252. The decline was driven by capital expenditure concerns. Second-quarter cash capex reached $53.1 billion, pushing trailing-twelve-month free cash flow to negative $7.6 billion. Management guided to roughly $200 billion in 2026 capex across AI data centres, custom silicon, robotics, and the Amazon Leo satellite network. Amazon's monthly drop outpaced peers Microsoft and Alphabet. The average Wall Street 12-month price target sits at $328, implying roughly 30% upside.
Amazon's Zoox and Alphabet's Waymo are expanding their robotaxi operations to more US cities. Zoox will begin mapping and testing in Houston and San Diego, bringing its presence to 12 locations. The company launched paid rides in Las Vegas in August after previously offering free testing rides. Waymo is introducing public rides in Denver, San Diego and Tampa, expanding its service to 14 cities. Both companies are targeting San Diego, though Zoox remains in testing whilst Waymo begins commercial operations. Waymo also plans to test autonomous vehicles in Munich before a proposed commercial launch in Germany by late 2027. Neither company disclosed potential revenue from the new markets. The expansion allows both firms to test technology under varied conditions and reach more customers.
Amazon has introduced new shopping features for Prime Video viewers. The retail giant is integrating product discovery across thousands of titles through its X-Ray experience, which currently displays actor information and soundtrack details. Users can now access a Shop tab by pausing video and pressing up on their Fire TV remote. A new "Shop the Scene" feature uses Amazon's Lens technology to identify products from characters' outfits and home décor. The updates enhance last year's "Shop the Show" feature, which required typing a search query. The improved second-screen experience now automatically opens relevant storefronts when users launch the Amazon Shopping app whilst watching content. "Shop the Scene" is available on iOS and Android across more than 600 titles, whilst "Shop the Show" has expanded from 1,300 to over 8,000 titles in the US.
