In this role, you’ll combine your technical skills, passion and enthusiasm with your unmatched creativity to generate grass-roots attention and support for AWS among key industry innovators and technologists in the Middle East and North Africa, as well as globally.

Ideally, you’re someone who comes from a software and/or infrastructure background, but you love to be on stage guiding the broader industry towards a technology you firmly believe in. You have immediate credibility with Startups, Developers, Architects, IT Managers and / or CIOs. You love to share your passion with others and exhibit good judgment in selecting strategic opportunities to do so.

Key Capabilities

  • As a Builder, you will dive deep to deliver audience-focused technical presentations, and to curate and build actionable technical content.

  • As a Strategist, you’ll keep the “big picture” in mind and always look for opportunities to maximize customer value, constantly driving efficiencies on processes and mechanisms.
  • As a Teacher, you’ll provide technical guidance for Builders to be successful with the cloud, simplifying the complex and tailoring your message to the needs of the audience.
  • As an Ambassador, you’ll build long-term relationships with Builders and their communities, feeding back insights to help shape AWS go-to-market strategy, programs and products. You’ll also identify and develop external AWS advocates, helping to scale our programs.
  • As an Influencer, you’ll use your unique personality and authentic content to help attract Builders to AWS and keep them engaged and inspired to Build.

Responsibilities

  • Gaining industry recognition and credibility as a regular attendee and speaker at AWS and third party technology conferences, shows and press events.
  • Curating, developing and delivering compelling presentations, sample solutions, and discussions to help drive awareness and adoption of AWS services.
  • Collaborating with internal teams to define program initiatives for technical audiences, market positioning, gathering customer feedback, and nurturing and growing technical communities.
  • Creating and maintaining relevant content (demos, videos, blogs, screencasts, books, and other mediums), covering AWS services along with emerging technologies and industry developments.
  • Maintaining a strong and credible presence in social media channels relevant to technical audiences.
  • Working with your worldwide counterparts to share best practices and help build a best-in-the-industry developer relations organization.
  • Continuing to identify leads for potential partnerships and customer opportunities.
