You will collaborate across various functions within AWS T&C including Branding, Marketing, Strategic Operations, Communications, Product Delivery, Finance, and Product Launch as well as with AWS Technical teams.

You will also partner with AWS Public Policy, Amazon in the Community (AITC) and AWS Social Responsibility & Impact (SRI), along with local and national mission-driven organizations to facilitate awareness and participation from Skills Center target audiences.

The ideal candidate must have a proven track record of success in program management, communication skills, strong attention to detail, process improvement and operational excellence skills, a collaborative work style, and an unparalleled work ethic. The right candidate is extremely data-driven and comfortable with writing and executing on various types of communications and programs; has demonstrated experience working effectively in a fast-paced, high-pressure entrepreneurial environment with a strong desire to roll up your sleeves; and proven experience managing priorities and working effectively across a number of internal stakeholders. Candidates that are passionate for delivering free cloud skills training to learners will thrive in this role.
