Brand and Naming Strategist, AWS Brand Strategy

Amazon • Seattle, WA

27d

About The Position

AWS powers nearly everything on the internet — from the startup that just
launched yesterday to
the enterprise that's been running the world's economy for decades. The brand
that represents all of that technology? It's still being written, and you could
help.
We're hiring a Brand Strategist to join the Creative Marketing team and shape
how one of the world's most consequential technology brands names, positions,
and presents its product portfolio to the world. This is a role for someone who
thinks in systems, leads with data, earns trust from senior stakeholders, and
has the courage to say, "we should do it differently."

AWS has one of the largest, most complex product portfolios in the world —
hundreds of services
spanning compute, storage, databases, machine learning, security, developer
tools, and more.
Managing that portfolio from a brand perspective isn't just a naming exercise;
it's an ongoing act of
strategic architecture. It's intricate, high-stakes work, and it's a lot of fun.
As a Brand Strategist, you'll serve as a trusted advisor and strategic anchor
for the product teams building the next generation of AWS services. You'll
help them understand that great naming and brand positioning aren't constraints
— they're
superpowers. You'll bring the research, the frameworks, and the storytelling
skills to make the case, and then you'll roll up your sleeves and build
alongside them. You know that brand is a key driver of growth, and will approach
every conversation, every decision, and every strategy through the lens of
customer-obsession and business growth.
