In this new, highly visible role, you will ensure that all AWS teams work together effectively and efficiently to deliver for the customer.

Key job responsibilities

You will be a trusted advisor to your customers.

You will take end-to-end ownership of a diverse range of projects and initiatives, utilising your communication skills to interface with and influence a broad range of multi-disciplinary teams (sales, solutions architecture, support, product, professional services, partners).

The PM role could be responsible for varied cloud transformational programs (technical, operational, organisational, education) that span across traditional IT teams and business units. With a deep understanding of your customer's business vision, culture and processes, you will be your customer's voice within AWS, ensuring that their needs are accurately communicated to AWS leadership, product, and engineering teams. You will evangelise AWS services and influence customers to adopt the right solution at the right time. You should be passionate about delivering a great customer experience by deploying AWS solutions, driving innovation, and delivering successful migration programs.

Successful candidates will have a program management background, be detail driven, and have experience in managing virtual teams to deliver complex programs. You will be a passionate and proven leader with the ability to gain stakeholder buy-in, 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 organisational boundaries. You will be a natural problem solver with a cool head, that can deal with ambiguity and work autonomously to deliver results for your customer.
