Amazon Web Services (AWS) seeks a creative, high-judgment public relations professional with exceptional storytelling instincts and deep media relationships to drive communications programs for the AWS Partner Network. The right candidate is a strong writer who can translate complex cloud and AI technology into compelling narratives that resonate with business and technology audiences, and who thrives on building relationships — with reporters, partners, and internal stakeholders alike.
This role is focused on cultivating media relationships, shaping news strategy, and developing joint thought leadership with partners and about AWS Marketplace. You will partner closely with our partners, comprising high-growth startups to established enterprise software companies and consultancies, to tell stories of innovation and customer impact. You will also drive strategic communications for AWS Marketplace, raising awareness of how AWS Marketplaces helps partners grow and scale their business, and customers easily discover, procure, and manage the IT and AI solutions that power their business.
The ideal candidate has a journalist's instinct for what makes a story matter, the ability to distill highly technical product and business narratives into clear, engaging media pitches and press materials, and the relationship-building skills to earn trusted-advisor status with both reporters and partner executives. You are comfortable navigating ambiguity, moving quickly, and managing a high volume of proactive media opportunities.
