About the team

Our vision for PRR is to be a digital reading discovery program for all Prime readers. We create value for our customers by providing “free with Prime” access to a curated, rotating catalog of digital reading content (ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, and comics), and connecting them to additional content outside the PRR program. Given the unique nature of PRR as a gateway program introducing Prime members to Amazon’s digital reading products, we can distill our vision down to three primary objectives:

1. Introduce Prime members to digital reading

2. Grow their PRR engagement through repeat content discovery, and

3. Enable our users to discover more Books programs, increasing their overall Books engagement.

• Strong communications (written and verbal)
• Ability to quickly assimilate different technologies and correlate systems across multiple feature areas to deliver on Prime Reading vision.
