This position is part of the AWS Specialist and Partner Organization (ASP). Specialists own the end-to-end go-to-market strategy for their respective technology domains, providing the business and technical expertise to help our customers succeed. Partner teams own the strategy, recruiting, development, and growth of our key technology and consulting partners. Together they provide our customers with the expertise and scale needed to build innovative solutions for their most complex challenges. Today, AWS's observability services are critical for customers running modern applications at scale. The insights provided by AWS' full stack observability solutions help detect, investigate, and remediate problems faster, and coupled with AI and ML, proactively react, predict, and prevent problems. As a Principal Observability Customer Success Specialist within the AWS Specialists & Partners (ASP) Customer Success Center of Excellence organization, you will drive enterprise adoption and value realization for Customers in their post launch journeys around observability.

Working closely with the Observability GTM and Customer Success Specialist teams, partners, and Professional Services, you will support service adoption plays. AWS is one of Amazon's fastest growing businesses, servicing millions of customers in more than 190 countries. As organizations increasingly rely on cloud-native applications and distributed systems, full-stack observability has become critical to collecting, correlating, aggregating, and analyzing telemetry in network, infrastructure, and applications in the cloud, hybrid, or on-premises environments to gain insights into the behavior, performance, and health of systems.
