Are you a strategic thinker who habitually works back from the customer to address their needs and pain points? Do you strive to deliver compelling and high-bar comms programs that entice people to answer your call to act? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a growth-minded Communications Strategist to join the Private Pricing Programs and Experiences (3PX) team.
In this role, you will join a team of strategists and producers defining and building content to educate key customer cohorts, both internal and external, about the Private Pricing Program’s mental models, tools, and processes. You will define and own the strategy of key communications programs and channels, and partner with internal stakeholders to drive production of related assets that drive efficient adoption of the Private Pricing Program. You will also serve as the team’s editor in chief to raise the team’s comms bar, and also demonstrate what great looks like through your own work. You will design and launch thoughtfully, and think ahead to ensure comms efforts are resonant, thoughtful, and effective. Through this work, you will play an instrumental role in building the Private Pricing Program brand, driving awareness and adoption, and increasing deal count and velocity.
The ideal candidate is an exceptional communicator who has strong editorial judgment and a keen understanding of what makes content great vs. good. You drive a wonderfully high bar as editor and producer, and meticulously craft, consider, and review the details of any comms effort. You habitually work back from the customers’ needs and pain points in defining, prioritizing, and inspecting work. You are focused and organized, and can deliver on time and at a high bar in a fast-paced environment. You communicate concisely and precisely, and can influence others to drive your vision. You measure success by impact (vs. size of effort), and continuously inspect both approach and output to incrementally raise the bar over time.
