Senior Manager, Category Marketing, AWS Cross Category Marketing

AWS is seeking a Senior Manager to lead the Cross-Category Services marketing team. This role owns the marketing strategy and execution for a portfolio of services that help AWS customers accelerate their cloud transformations and achieve long-term success: AWS Training & Certification, AWS Support, AWS Professional Services, and AWS Marketplace & Partner Services.

These services represent a critical part of the AWS customer journey - from building skills and getting expert guidance, to finding and deploying third-party solutions, to ensuring ongoing operational excellence. Together they generate billions in revenue.

As the leader of this team, you will build and manage a high-performing team of product marketers, develop differentiated positioning and messaging for each portfolio, drive customer insights that inform marketing strategy, and serve as the connective tissue between diverse business stakeholders who have different operating rhythms, go-to-market motions, and customer audiences.

This is a role for someone who thrives in complexity - someone who can context-switch fluidly across businesses while maintaining strategic coherence, who builds trust with senior stakeholders through intellectual rigor and consistent delivery.
