In this new, highly visible, role you will ensure that all AWS teams work together effectively and efficiently to deliver for the customer.

Key job responsibilities
You will be a trusted advisor to your customer.

You will understand your customers’ biggest IT challenges, and provide prescriptive guidance, based on AWS best practices, to guide them through the obstacles.

You will take end-to-end ownership of a diverse range of projects and initiatives, utilizing your communication skills to interface with and influence a broad range of multi disciplinary teams (sales, solutions architecture, support, product, professional services, partners). The Customer Solutions Manager role is responsible for cloud transformational programs (technical, operational, organizational, education) that span across traditional IT teams and business units.
