You will be a trusted cloud advisor to your customer.

You will leverage your consulting, complex program management and technology skills to understand your customer's strategic business objectives, translate them into an executable plan, and drive the implementation to success by working with the customer, AWS, and our partners. You will understand your customers' biggest IT and Business challenges, and provide prescriptive guidance, based on AWS best practices, to guide them through the obstacles.

Your actions will have to earn the trust of the customer by doing what's best for them in long term. You will have to communicate confidently at both the executive and project team level, and collaborate with a wide range of technical and non-technical teams, regardless of geographical or organizational boundaries.
