SCE engages directly with customers and AWS leadership to drive cloud initiatives that will accelerate growth, increase efficiency, and unlock new business capabilities.

By collaborating closely with our field sales teams, SCE Deal Specialist's at AWS leverage their expertise in deal structuring, negotiating private pricing that drives sustainable growth and value for both our customers and AWS, and strategic methodologies to navigate customer pain points, gain credibility, and effectively partner with the sales organization. This is a unique opportunity to engage with AWS customers on strategic opportunities, increase the growth of AWS (Americas/EMEA/APJ), and to establish AWS as their key cloud technology provider. These opportunities range across industry verticals, such as Financial Services, Telecommunications, Media & Entertainment, Energy, Healthcare Life Sciences, Automotive and Manufacturing, and Public Sector, and customer size (from start-ups to enterprise customers). These engagements may also involve Pan-Amazon and AWS go-to-market opportunities involving close partnership between the SCE global deal team and other Amazon and AWS stakeholders.

This highly visible role will own alignment with C-level executives, IT teams, and multiple lines of business to achieve business outcomes, increase the adoption of AWS services, and enable private pricing, go-to-market, pan-Amazon, and other strategic relationships.
