[JOB POSTING] Analyst Relations Manager, AWS, DC, USA

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking an experienced, self-motivated, and detail-oriented communications professional to help build its Worldwide Public Sector (WWPS) Analyst Relations (AR) program. The AR Manager will need to stay closely aligned to the WWPS business leaders and develop a program that “influences the influencers” in support of key business goals.

The successful candidate must be a builder – someone who can take a business challenge and develop a solution to be run at a global scale. He/she will need to be creative, with a passion for finding outside-of-the-box ways to make an impact on a market.

The right candidate possesses communications and public sector experience, with a track-record of successfully managing programs on a global scale – this includes the ability to quickly understand technically deep topics, successfully deliver on numerous collaborative projects, and manage day-to-day operations related to program activities in a global organization. In this role, the candidate will have a direct opportunity to create AWS AR programs and measure results via new approaches. He/she must be comfortable with balancing strategic thinking with tactical, detailed execution while working independently, sorting through ambiguously defined problems, and identifying market challenges and opportunities for our customers.

This role is based in the DC metro area (Herndon or Ballston office) and will require periodic domestic and international travel.
