The AWS Global Brand Team is seeking an experienced, strategic, and entrepreneurial Senior Brand Lead to serve as the embedded brand expert supporting the Developer Marketing team.

This role requires someone who can operate as a trusted brand advisor—defining positioning, shaping narratives, and elevating creative quality—while thriving in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
