Business Developer, Fuse

Amazon Fuse - Business Development

Role purpose: Own strategic partnerships that expand the distribution, acquisition, and engagement of Amazon subscription services through third-party partners. Fuse BD sits at the intersection of Amazon's subscription services and major external distribution partners, creating commercial structures that embed Amazon services into products customers already buy and use.

Core responsibilities

Originate and own strategic partnerships with telecommunications operators, broadband providers, OEMs, financial institutions, retailers, and other large-scale distribution partners. Develop distribution strategies for Amazon services including Prime, Prime Video, Amazon Music, and other subscription products.

Structure and negotiate complex commercial agreements - that solve unique problems - leveraging bundle structures, free trials, wholesale arrangements, fixed-fee structures, revenue shares, promotional offers, and/or embedded subscription models.

• You will own the full deal lifecycle.
• From identifying the right opportunity, to business case development through negotiation, contracting, launch, and ongoing commercial management.
• Build the business case and economics for partnerships, modeling customer acquisition, conversion, engagement, retention, partner economics, and long-term value.

• Internally, you will work across Amazon organizations, coordinating with product, finance, legal, tax, marketing, operations, engineering, and the individual subscription businesses to develop and execute partnerships.
• Serve as the senior commercial relationship owner with partner executives, identifying opportunities to expand relationships across multiple Amazon businesses.
• Drive post-launch performance, using subscriber, engagement, conversion, and financial data to identify under performance and develop initiatives to accelerate adoption.
• Develop market and partner strategy, prioritizing the partners and distribution channels capable of generating meaningful subscriber scale.
• Create repeatable partnership models that can be deployed across partners and markets rather than treating every agreement as a standalone transaction.
• Navigate highly complex organizations, aligning Amazon and partner stakeholders whose objectives, economics, technical requirements, and timelines may differ.
• Represent Amazon in executive-level negotiations, balancing partner objectives with Amazon's long-term customer and economic interests.

What makes Fuse BD different from traditional BD?

The role isn't about signing partnerships or managing accounts. It's about solving complex business problems forging close relationships with 3P partners, that amplify distribution + corporate development + product commercialization.

A strong Fuse BD person essentially asks

How can we solve this unique Amazon problem through 3P assets, in a way that benefits both companies AND its joint customers?
