Job description

DESCRIPTION

AWS has over 1M active customers all over the world, over 120 services, and tens of thousands of partners. The business is growing rapidly, so amplifying and scaling technical knowledge and insights to (and from) our partners and customers is a critical need and a big opportunity. One way we achieve this goal is through technical content creation (e.g. whitepapers, reference architectures, videos, solutions). Digital Media (videos, podcasts, blogs, and digital magazines) is a key channel for AWS technical knowledge, and we are building our Digital Media Series program to reach more customers and scale technical knowledge globally.
We are looking for an experienced leader to create a global AWS Digital Media Series vision and strategy, and to build a team to execute the strategy by designing and delivering a number of media programs, working with our internal technical stakeholders on an orchestrated set of technical videos, podcasts, blogs, digital magazines, and other digital media products. You have an opportunity in this role to reach a massive, global audience through various mediums.
You will ensure that Digital Media Series content is aligned with our AWS technical content priorities and meets customer needs. You will work closely with leaders throughout AWS to ensure we have the best, cutting edge content topics, and will partner with Marketing to ensure effective promotion of Digital Media Series assets. You will also work closely with partners and customers to line up compelling stories that can be communicated effectively through this program. And you will define metrics and processes to ensure these assets are meeting the needs of our internal and external customers.

Roles and Responsibilities:
· Design and execute a compelling vision and strategy for the AWS SA Media Series program
