AWS is seeking a Customer Solutions Manager (CSM) to help customers realize sustained business value by accelerating their migration to the AWS cloud and build cloud native, modern solutions. You will utilize AWS best practices developed over thousands of engagements to work backwards from the customer strategic objectives, help design the customer cloud journey, execute a frictionless migration experience, and ensure our customers capture the full potential of the AWS cloud. CSMs are technologists with a strategic business mindset and use their technical acumen, program management, organizational change management, and communication skills to influence a broad range of multidisciplinary teams. You will work with aligning sales, solution architecture, support, product, professional services, and partners to optimize customer outcomes.

You will earn trust at all levels of the customer organization and identify strategic opportunities, cloud use cases, establish roadmaps and actionable program plans, capture success criteria, build advanced technical architectures, allocate resources to technical and change management activities, and establish programmatic governance. You own and drive execution excellence for the end-to-end customer engagement (technical, operational, organizational, and educational) across traditional IT teams and business units.

At AWS we value critical thinking, self-motivation, and the ability to deal with ambiguity. You will pay attention to detail but have the ability to think big on behalf of our customers. Bring a cool head, a business outcome mindset, extensive technical background, excellent problem-solving abilities, and be an exemplary verbal and written communicator. Your technical expertise and operational excellence will influence your team's decisions and help us drive robust customer solutions. We are passionate about people who innovate, use data to make decisions, and can express themselves thoughtfully. We want you to be passionate about delivering a great customer experience, and contributing to a team goal.
