DSP Director

Job Description

This is a remote position.

The DSP Director is the executive owner of the Amazon DSP function, responsible for portfolio performance, profitability, scalability, and long-term strategic growth. This role leads the overall vision, operational architecture, financial performance, and market positioning of the DSP division while ensuring consistent client success across the portfolio.

This is not a manager role and not a specialist role. You are the business owner of the DSP function. You set the strategy, own the P&L, build the team, create the systems, and deliver results across the entire DSP organization.

Executive leadership will provide direction and resources, but ownership of outcomes rests with you. Success in this role requires strong leadership, financial acumen, operational excellence, organizational development expertise, and deep Amazon DSP knowledge.

If you need someone to tell you what to do every week, this isn't the right role for you.
