To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright and driven people. Amazon is one of the most recognizable brand names in the world and we distribute millions of products each year to our loyal customers.

We are looking for a Manager Photography for our photo studio in Leipzig.

Amazon Imaging builds the world's best online shopping experience through photography, videography, graphic design, and usability design enabling millions of customers to make more informed purchasing decisions. Imaging at Amazon is a large and fast-growing network of teams located throughout North America, Europe, and Asia, focusing on fashion and product photography, photo retouching, graphic design, video and CGI production, automated image acquisition, and image support services.

The Manager Photography will set visual standards for product imaging throughout our operations, implement continual imagery improvements, increase photography workflow efficiency, and continually raise the creative bar as part of an international team of multiple studios.

As a Manager Photography you enjoy mentoring and managing other photographers. This person will also bring innovation to high volume photography workflows, reducing the operational cost while improving the quality of imagery produced.
