About The Position

AWS Global Sales drives adoption of the AWS cloud worldwide, enabling customers
of all sizes to innovate and expand in the cloud. Our team empowers every
customer to grow by providing tailored service, unmatched technology, and
committed support. We dive deep to understand each customer's unique challenges,
then craft innovative solutions that accelerate their success. This
customer-first approach is how we built the world's most adopted cloud. Join us
and help us grow.

This role balances strategic vision with hands-on technical work. You'll design
and architect scalable solutions, assess customer workloads, and make technical
trade-offs while building long-term trusted advisor relationships. You'll

and research innovative opportunities. With entrepreneurial freedom and the
ability to manage your own priorities, you'll help customers solve real-world
problems with meaningful impact.

Your day is highly dynamic, varying based on customer needs and priorities. You
might start with internal planning meetings, reviewing customer architectures
and preparing for upcoming engagements. Later, you'll lead an architecture
design session with a financial services customer, whiteboarding solutions and
diving deep into technical requirements. You'll spend time building
proof-of-concept solutions for pressing customer challenges, then conduct office
hours where customers bring their technical questions. Throughout the day,
you'll collaborate with account teams to align on customer strategy, document
technical recommendations, and dedicate time to staying current with new AWS
services and features.

services and insurance industry to help them transform their business through
