Marketing Manager, Strategic Marketing

Seattle, WA, United States

Description

Are you a systems thinker with a passion for messaging and great prose? Are you equally excited about crafting educational content and creating systems for standardization? Amazon Web Services is looking for a customer-obsessed, language-sensitive, detail-oriented marketing manager to develop training curriculum, templates, and mechanisms for product messaging and positioning at AWS.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a dynamic, rapidly-growing business and is the leader in providing secure, reliable, scalable, and innovative cloud services that help over a million businesses across the globe scale and grow.

In this role, you directly affect the experience for millions of customers considering the complex solutions and services offered by AWS. You will create curriculum and systems that enable the entire product marketing organization to deliver clear and compelling messaging and positioning for AWS products and solutions.

You will use strong writing and editing judgment to champion high standards for product messaging, positioning, and storytelling, and you will inspire teams to follow those standards. You will also develop quality and success metrics for the product marketing organization, and own continuously reporting on and improving those metrics. And you will research our audiences, analyze the existing messaging guidelines, competencies, and processes, and develop/deliver training curriculum, resources, and mechanisms for improvements based on user experience data and best practices.

The ideal candidate will have experience building and leading training programs focused on developing topnotch messaging and storytelling, streamlining processes, and continuously improving contributor self-sufficiency. Also important is a creative, entrepreneurial spirit, as the role requires building a training program from the ground up, from assessing organizational needs to creating mechanisms for measuring program effectiveness.

To excel in this position, you should be comfortable in a fast-paced, high-energy environment with more ambiguity—and more chances to lead--than usual. You should have a proactive approach to solving problems and building sustainable solutions. You’ll need strong cross-functional leadership experience and the proven ability to influence others. And you should enjoy being part of a team whose members support each other and pull together on critical programs and tasks.

This role will sit in Seattle WA only. Relocation to this location only from within the US only.
