AWS AR Lead, Solutions at Amazon Web Services, Inc.
Round Rock, TX 78664
About the Job
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking an experienced, self-motivated, personable, and detail-oriented Analyst Relations (AR) Manager to lead its End User Computing (EUC) AR program. The AR Manager will manage and execute the company's AR strategy and tactics to effectively communicate key differentiators for AWS EUC services, such as Amazon WorkSpaces. Come help tell our story and dive deep on exciting technology use cases such as remote desktop workspaces, document collaboration and sharing, and virtual application streaming.
The AWS cloud computing platform is used today by millions of businesses and developers around the world, ranging from start-ups to Fortune 50 enterprises. Cloud computing is arguably one of the most impactful developments in technology within the last 20 years. AWS is a pioneer and leader in the fast growing field of cloud computing. Because of this, there are thousands of analysts worldwide who are trying to understand AWS to then help their clients realize the transformation potential of cloud computing for their business. Our role is to inform these analysts and explain how AWS is different from traditional IT infrastructure offerings, and to work with these analysts to understand core customer requirements and concerns.
The right candidate possesses analyst experience and a track-record of demonstrating successful AR program management – this includes the ability to quickly understand technically deep topics, successfully deliver on numerous collaborative projects, and manage day-to-day operations related to program activities in a global organization. In this role, the candidate will have a direct opportunity to innovate AWS AR programs and measurement of results via new approaches. They must be comfortable with balancing strategic thinking with tactical, detailed execution while working independently, sorting through ambiguously defined problems, and identifying market challenges and opportunities for our customers.
Position will be located in an Amazon/AWS U.S. Corp office based in the following locations: Seattle, WA (HQ); Austin, TX. Relocation offered from within the US only to these locations.
