Description

　　Amazon is looking for a detail-oriented, high-judgement, quick-thinking News Monitoring Coordinator to join Amazon’s Corporate Communications team. The news monitoring team supports public relations within Amazon by monitoring online news and forums, identifying notable stories or posts, and managing Amazon’s general public relations email account. This team is foundational to the overall operation of Amazon’s public relations team, giving team members unique experience and insight into how public relations operates at a large company.

　　We are looking for a self-proclaimed news junky who is extremely organized and has a background or interest in corporate communications. They will need to be internet savvy and be able to sift through the Internet noise with an eagle eye for topics that are relevant to our business. This role requires candidates to read and assess high volumes of information in order to accomplish specific tasks, learn and use search tools to help find critical information, and contribute to coverage reporting. This is a critical role within the organization that requires relentless attention to detail and a passion for finding a needle in a haystack.

　　The ideal candidate is self-motivated, able to work in a global team environment, problem solve and possess a can-do attitude, and exercise sound judgement and critical thinking. This role requires the ability to multitask, meet tight deadlines, and switch gears at a moment's notice; previous experience in a fast-paced environment is preferred. The candidate must be highly organized and react with appropriate professionalism and urgency to situations that require a quick turnaround. The successful candidate will plan-ahead, look around corners, manage their time effectively, and take initiative when they see a process is inefficient or broken on the team. They will actively contribute to building tools and mechanisms for the team to best support our media monitoring function. Successful team members have the opportunity to participate in out-of-scope projects and work closely with and learn from a wide range of PR teams at Amazon. This position may require flex hours.
