Full Job Description
Own AWS's competitive point of view on Google Cloud. As a Senior GCP Cloud Intelligence SA, your analysis shapes how thousands of AWS field teams win - and feeds directly into our product roadmap and go-to-market strategy. This is a rare seat where deep Google Cloud expertise doesn't just close individual deals; it changes how AWS competes at scale. You'll be a technical and business leader who influences the AWS field on sales strategy and helps design cloud-native solutions for customers. You'll build and maintain cloud migration and modernization acumen across AWS and other public clouds, then scale that expertise by documenting your insights, sharpening our product offerings, and strengthening our go-to-market campaigns.

The ideal candidate lives and breathes public cloud and is energized by continual learning as new offerings and industry shifts emerge. You partner naturally across product, go-to-market, and field leadership, think strategically about customers' complex business and technical needs, and move fluidly between C-level executives and technical decision makers. You bring a proven track record as a consultant, advisor, or key stakeholder delivering cloud-native solutions.

Key job responsibilities

+ Serve as the subject matter expert on GCP technology and go-to-market strategy for the AWS field.

+ Partner with field SAs and BDs to translate customers' business and technical requirements into the best-fit AWS approach, and present those recommendations directly to CxO and technical audiences (Architect/Director).

+ Analyze competitive trends and offerings to generate technical and business insights, and grow a community of compete specialists who build on your work.

+ Create technical content that scales your expertise - decks, whitepapers, and recordings - and deliver presentations and trainings to field SAs, BDMs, and product stakeholders.

+ Manage a fast-moving pipeline of technical engagements with operational excellence, delivering rapidly and reprioritizing as opportunities shift.
