You will proactively ensure that your customers' AWS environments remain operationally healthy. By developing close relationships with your customers, you will gain insights into their business and operational needs, as well as their technical challenges, enabling you to help them achieve the greatest value from AWS. This position requires a willingness to travel 10% or more as needed, reflecting the dynamic nature of the role. The TAM is central to delivering value to our National Security customers, and if you are passionate about being at the forefront of innovation, we invite you to join our team.
