Head of Digital Customer Engagement Solutions
Job ID: 2035895 | Amazon Web Services, Inc.
Job summary
Do you want to help customers solve their most strategic challenges through cloud technologies?
As the Worldwide Customer Engagement Solutions Leader within the Solutions and GTM Programs Group (SGP), you will own the strategy for creating Solutions to address our customers’ most pressing needs for implementing their digital customer engagement strategies. You will own execution of the Solutions strategy for the Customer Engagement domain by developing and bringing to market solutions integrating AWS services and partners. These solutions accelerate customers’ adoption of AWS to drive their business transformations.
The SGP team’s charter is to develop easy-to-use, repeatable, scalable solutions and go-to-market programs. We leverage our domain expertise to work backwards from the needs of buyers and builders, and we anticipate and invent on their behalf. Solutions integrate AWS services, capabilities, and partners, and they’re purpose-built to address priority customer use cases — and the innovation, modernization, and transformational business outcomes customers seek. When using our solutions and programs, customers achieve outcomes measurably faster, with lower effort and risk.
You will own the annual strategy, customer adoption goals, and revenue goals for solutions in the Customer Engagement domain, leveraging your expertise in these technologies, and working with customers, account teams, and business development teams to identify and prioritize customer needs. You will identify the optimal solutioning approach for addressing customer use cases and work with AWS Solution Architects, engineers, and AWS partners to develop solutions for those use cases, keeping in mind ease-of-use and speed of AWS adoptions. You will create go-to-market content that enables our sales teams, accelerate customer adoption of solutions, measure results, and evolve solutions to meet customer needs effectively.
Understanding or experience in architecting and/or implementing modern scalable cloud applications is required, and demonstrated success launching solutions at a global scale is important for this role. You have a proven track record of building complex solutions programs and a good understanding of the Customer Engagement software ecosystem.
