DESCRIPTION

Job summary
Can you write copy that crisply conveys business-value propositions with a high level of storytelling? Do you enjoy polishing prose? Do you have a passion for helping organizations understand how complex technologies can impact them? The AWS Executive Communications Team is looking for a talented, dynamic, self-directed writer to help us create stories about how cloud technology is changing the world.

Also, be prepared to demonstrate your ability to edit the writing of others and raise the bar on the quality and impact of key content.
