Amazon Web Services is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud, offering over 200 services to millions of customers—including the fastest growing startups, largest enterprises, and leading government agencies. This role provides exposure to both the internal and external elements of our business—supporting the Sales, Marketing, and Global Services Operations team, which provides the resources, tooling, data, and strategic insights that our field teams utilize every day, and working with the AWS Global Sales team to bring the benefits of AWS cloud to customers across various industries.
In this role you will work on a broad range of issues, including data privacy and data governance, product development, licensing, marketing compliance, and generative AI. You will advise on the development of new tools and resources, analyze compliance considerations and help the business action solutions, vet new initiatives and support them through launch, and implement solutions that help our teams scale and simplify. The role will also involve some drafting of strategic vendor engagements and customer agreements, and managing outside counsel.
We are looking for candidates who are quick learners and creative problem solvers, who thrive in collaborative team environments and are comfortable independently driving projects forward, and who are eager to dive deep to understand our business operations and our customers. Familiarity with cloud computing, although helpful, is not required.
