Join Amazon Entertainment"s legal team and shape the future of how millions of people experience entertainment worldwide. As an Associate Corporate Counsel, you"ll advise on cutting-edge content deals, navigate complex commercial agreements, and lead the transformation of legal operations through innovative technology solutions at the intersection of entertainment and artificial intelligence.

Key job responsibilities

  • Structure, draft, and negotiate complex distribution, development, licensing, production, technology, and other commercial agreements with external partners
  • Advise business teams on matters spanning intellectual property, new product initiatives, privacy, and regulatory compliance
  • Lead the implementation of artificial intelligence and advanced tools to improve legal processes, contract management, and operational efficiency
  • Serve as lead counsel on strategic content acquisition deals and manage ongoing commercial relationships with key business partners

A day in the life

You"ll be based in our Los Angeles office, supporting the Prime Video business as it delivers must-see movies, series, and premium sports to customers globally. Your day involves serving as a legal advisor and thought partner on both day-to-day matters and strategic initiatives. You"ll own the full lifecycle of commercial agreements-from drafting and negotiating with content providers and technology vendors to closing deals that drive the business forward.

A significant part of your role centers on modernizing how we work. You"ll lead the adoption of artificial intelligence tools to streamline legal operations, reduce manual processes, and generate insights that once took hours to produce in only minutes. This means identifying opportunities to improve contract cycle times, implementing advanced tools, and creating systems that enable faster decisions and greater consistency across the team.

Working directly with business colleagues, you"ll serve as lead counsel on strategic content acquisition deals while managing existing commercial relationships. You"ll also research emerging regulatory matters and new product initiatives that impact the business. Our legal team values solving complex problems through in-person collaboration with colleagues and creative business partners who are equally committed to excellence.

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
