Voices of Amazon Ads
Victoria, Corporate CounselWhat I enjoy most about being part of the Ads Legal team is that no two days are the same. I get to help the Amazon Ads business innovate for advertisers and customers, and as a result, I get to wrestle with some interesting and complex questions pretty regularly. On any given day, I could spend a few hours chatting with colleagues about the applicability of a particular law or I could find myself diving deep into a new user experience. I rarely know what the day will bring and that excites me! Amazon Ads is filled with brilliant—and approachable—people. I find value in simply being in the room because I get a little smarter with every conversation. Working with such intelligent people pushes me to raise the bar for myself.
Justin Head of Advertiser IntegrityI work in our Ad Policy business and lead a team of policy managers focusing on specialized content areas. The creation of the team came out of an idea I pitched after I identified commonalities across the wider policy team that, when combined, would be more effective at ensuring our customers have a great experience whenever they see an Amazon ad.
I put this idea on paper, researched, and developed it with colleagues, then presented it to leadership. I was given the go-ahead to start bringing my idea to life, and things have snowballed since then!
At Amazon, you’re given a lot of trust from leadership to pursue things if you think they’ll have a positive impact on customers. I don’t think there are many other companies where you’re given time and budget to prove out an idea in this way. Amazon’s commitment to innovation creates a really dynamic environment, a lot of ownership, and a lot of accountability.
Igor Senior Manager, Corporate CounselI have the privilege of leading* a team of lawyers and legal professionals who partner with Amazon Ads business teams to make really cool things happen. From ensuring that all paperwork is in order for high-value ad sales to figuring out how to bring to life a creative idea that we pitched to multi-national advertiser for their latest product—it’s never a dull moment on my team. And let’s not forget ideas such as launching a brand-new ‘Vehicles’ category on Amazon.com. This team does it all.
This is my third career at Amazon, having previously spent some time with Amazon Devices and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Amazon Ads appealed to me because it enabled me to bring together my prior experiences at Amazon (and before) in a meaningful way, given the technological convergence between these businesses. Each business unit is unique, and I’m grateful to be able to bring my curiosity to so many different teams and leaders across Amazon.
*Legal disclaimer fun: The truth is, I’m more often a mere sounding board for my awesome people who are the ones really responsible for all the magic in their work.

What truly excites me is the impact of my efforts; ensuring that every ad upholds our high standards for integrity and contributes positively to the customer journey.

It’s empowering to know that through our policies, we’re safeguarding the trust and satisfaction of our customers, making their voices paramount in everything we do.
This role isn’t just a job; it’s a mission to make a huge difference, enhancing the shopping experience for millions, one policy at a time.
