Do you want to transform how we deliver security outcomes to our customers? Are you excited to help us earn customer trust through delivery excellence and implementation of security practices? Do you enjoy driving global initiatives within a fast-paced Solutions Architecture organization?

The AWS Solutions Architecture team seeks to improve the security of how AWS Field Teams deliver to customers worldwide. This role is inherently cross-functional and requires a strong ability to think big and insist on highest standards as you influence others to evolve the way that AWS interacts with our customers.

As a security leader on the team, you will work directly with C-level executives to help them understand security best practices, lead/develop strategic programs to improve customers' operational security, and identify strategic opportunities for thought leadership across the industry. You will be expected to own day-to-day operational security practices both technical and programmatic. Technical leadership includes delivering security reviews, building and deploying new technology and capabilities, and influencing Service Team roadmaps. Programmatic leadership includes building and executing project plans, stakeholder management, proactively identifying and managing delivery risks, resolving issues, and escalating when appropriate - all to drive successful customer outcomes.

The ideal candidate should be a technical security professional showing strong bias for action and deep ownership over organization-spanning programs. Someone who is comfortable leading the charge to reduce ambiguity and earn trust while taking solutions architecture team members on a journey from securing their working environments through scalable security tools, best practices in customer workloads, and security deliverable standards.
