The Worldwide Specialist Organization (WWSO) is part of AWS Sales, Marketing, and Global Services (SMGS), which is responsible for driving revenue, adoption, and growth from the largest and fastest growing small- and mid-market accounts to enterprise-level customers including public sector. We work backwards from our customer’s most complex and business critical problems to build and execute go-to-market plans that turn AWS ideas into multi-billion-dollar businesses. WWSO teams include business development, specialist and technical solutions architecture.

Key job responsibilities
As Sr. Customer Advocacy Specialist, you will lead the the effort in driving the development and adoption of the Gen AI Next Generation Developer Experience services through deep customer engagements. In this role, you would exhibit the advocacy and presentation skills of a traditional developer evangelist with the ability to gather customer and industry insight. The role provides a good balance between talking to customers and industry influencers to help them build innovative solutions and drive enterprise-wide adoption for the builder experience and working with AWS product teams internally to shape the product and processes. In this role, you’ll combine your unbridled passion and enthusiasm for developers with your unmatched creativity to generate grass-roots attention and support for the developer experience among strategic customers, key industry opinion makers and technologists. In this role, you will manage a portfolio of strategic customer projects, aligning cross-functionally to ensure seamless delivery and an exceptional customer experience.

Ideally, you’re someone who has background building tools and content for developers, and has an unmet need to seed developer communities and programs around a technology you heartily believe in. You have immediate credibility with developers at all levels, from students to CIOs. You love to share your passion with others and exhibit good judgment in selecting strategic opportunities to do so. You don’t just want to be part of an industry movement, you want to be out front leading it. If this sounds like you, this is your dream job.
