Jeremiah Jones | Industrial Engineering

Senior Partner Ops Manager, Amazon Prime Video

Jeremiah Jones graduated from Purdue during the height of COVID-19 - a time when job offers, including his, disappeared overnight. He pivoted, taking a job as a line worker at the startup Skinny & Co., and within weeks, began identifying process inefficiencies using his IE training. Within a year, he rose to principal product manager, brokering $1 million in PPE contracts.

In less than 18 months at Amazon, Jones went from entry-level area manager to overseeing quality assurance across multiple fulfillment centers in the Bay Area. Jones says there is a stigma that fulfillment managers are not cut out for the corporate side, but he shattered that ceiling. In his most impressive career flex yet, he transitioned to Amazon Prime Video, where he is a senior partner manager. He led the largest studio partnership launch in company history - bringing Crunchyroll, the world's No. 1 anime provider, into the Prime ecosystem. Garnering 100,000 sign-ups in the first two weeks of availability, this deal is forecasted to generate millions of new paid subscribers. He also led the Lionsgate+ and MGM+ content merger across five European countries and steered a cross-functional team to redesign Prime Video's content taxonomy to make titles more discoverable for customers.

Currently, Jeremiah manages Prime Video's strategic partnerships across the Americas, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, overseeing a portfolio that generates over 40% of the platform's third-party channel revenue. He is actively shaping the future of digital content distribution at Prime Video, including pioneering initiatives that reimagine how creators and short-form content will transform the streaming landscape. His expertise in content strategy has made him a trusted advisor for global initiatives, regularly consulting with Amazon VP-level leadership and C-suite executives from major media partners including Apple TV+, Lionsgate, Crunchyroll, and MGM+.
