Job Description
There"s Amazon. Then there"s Prime Video. And then there"s you - the Executive Assistant - standing confidently at the intersection of all of it, armed with a calendar, a can-do attitude, and the institutional knowledge of roughly three full-time employees.
The EA role in Prime Video & Studios is unlike most support roles at Amazon. It lives at a fascinating (and occasionally chaotic) crossroads: part entertainment company, part tech organization, part global studio operation. Your leader might be in a greenlight meeting one afternoon and a cloud infrastructure review the next. You need to understand both worlds - and somehow make them coexist on the same calendar.
Key job responsibilities
- Anticipate needs before they become asks - know the business calendar cold: launch windows, content review seasons, OP1/OP2 cycles, and AWS re:Invent prep.
- Build time blocks for deep work, travel buffers, and biobreaks (yes, even SVPs need lunch - they just forget to schedule it).
- Maintain a forward view of the calendar: 2 weeks detailed, 3 months at a glance.
- Prime Video runs globally - LA, Seattle, London, Mumbai, and beyond. Time zones are not a suggestion; they are a daily puzzle.
- Establish preferred meeting windows with peer EAs in other regions to reduce the 6am/9pm scheduling pain.
- Keep a world clock handy. Your brain will thank you.
A day in the life
- Triage and prioritize - Flag urgent items, pre-read docs attached to upcoming meetings, and identify any conflicts or double-bookings that crept in overnight.
- Prep the daily brief - Some VPs like a morning rundown: key meetings, decisions needed, docs to review, and any "heads up" items (reorgs, escalations, launch milestones).
- Back-to-back meeting management - In PV, your leader is likely in content reviews, tech syncs, partner discussions, and leadership meetings.
- Coordinate with other EAs - PV has a large EA community. You partner with EAs supporting SVPs, Directors, and other leaders to schedule 1:1s, staff meetings, and business reviews.

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
