- As an Ambassador, you’ll build long-term relationships with Builders and their communities, feeding back insights to help shape AWS go-to-market strategy, programs and products. You’ll also identify and develop external AWS advocates, helping to scale our programs.
- As an Influencer, you’ll use your unique personality and authentic content to help attract Builders to AWS and keep them engaged and inspired to Build.
Responsibilities:
- Gaining industry recognition and credibility as a regular attendee and speaker at AWS and third party technology conferences, shows and press events.
- Curating, developing and delivering compelling presentations, sample solutions, and discussions to help drive awareness and adoption of AWS services.
- Collaborating with internal teams to define program initiatives for technical audiences, market positioning, gathering customer feedback, and nurturing and growing technical communities.
- Creating and maintaining relevant content (demos, videos, blogs, screencasts, books, and other mediums), covering AWS services along with emerging technologies and industry developments.
- Maintaining a strong and credible presence in social media channels relevant to technical audiences.
- Working with your worldwide counterparts to share best practices and help build a best-in-the-industry developer relations organization.
