As a trusted customer advocate, you will help organizations understand best practices around advanced cloud solutions and provide strategic guidance on migrating existing workloads to the cloud. You will build deep relationships with senior technical leaders to enable them as cloud advocates within their companies. A core responsibility is educating customers on the value proposition of AWS through training sessions, deep architectural discussions, and cloud acceleration programs.
You will drive revenue growth by formulating and executing sales strategies in partnership with the AWS Sales team.

Additionally, you will capture and share best practice knowledge across AWS, including authoring customer-facing content like whitepapers and blog posts.
The ideal candidate has a passion for cloud computing with a proven track record in technology consulting, solutions architecture, or pre-sales engineering. You must be broadly competent across infrastructure, security, DevOps, databases, app development, analytics, and deep expertise in at least two areas.

Key job responsibilities

You will link your technical expertise to tangible solutions, defining and creating cloud-native reference architectures.
A core part of your role is acting as a trusted customer advocate, helping organizations understand best practices for cloud-based solutions. You will shape strategies to build mindshare and broaden the use of AWS across customer organizations, utilizing your ability to think strategically about business, products and technical complexities.
Your creativity will be channeled into developing new architectural patterns, best practices and technical content to share across AWS in the form of whitepapers, code samples, blog posts and more. You will evangelize AWS technology through workshops, user groups, public speaking engagements, online videos and conferences.
Your day will strike a balance between customer meetings, working on solutions, continuous learning and knowledge sharing. The AWS Solutions Architecture team provides an open environment with self-paced learning, instructor-led training, hands-on projects, job shadowing and mentoring opportunities to expand your AWS services expertise. You'll bring an insatiable curiosity to understand how technology works and achieve outcomes that delight customers.
