At Amazon, we are continuously striving to be the most customer-centric company in the world. AWS has been helping over one million customers in over 190 countries to deliver flexibility, scalability, and reliability across their organizations. Behind this success are exceptionally talented, bright, and driven individuals who work hard, have fun, and make history.

As a Solution Architect within Amazon Web Services (AWS), you will have the opportunity to help shape and deliver on a strategy to build mind share and broad use of Amazon's services (like Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Q, Amazon SageMaker, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, and Amazon SQS) within strategic accounts across Italy.

Your broad responsibilities will include: owning the technical engagement and ultimate success around specific implementation projects, and developing a deep expertise in the AWS technologies as well as broad know-how around how applications and services are constructed using the AWS platform.

The ideal candidate will possess customer-facing skills that will allow them to represent Amazon well within a customer's environment and drive discussions with senior personnel within the company, as well as a technical background that enables them to easily interact and give guidance with software developers and architects. The candidate should also have a demonstrated ability to think structured about business, product, and technical challenges.

The AWS SA team provides a ramp-up program that includes self-paced learning, instructor-led training, hands-on projects, job shadowing opportunities, and a peer-reviewed opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge.

AWS Global Sales drives adoption of the AWS cloud worldwide, enabling customers of all sizes to innovate and expand in the cloud. Our team empowers every customer to grow by providing tailored service, unmatched technology, and unwavering support. We dive deep to understand each customer's unique challenges, then craft innovative solutions that accelerate their success. This customer-first approach is how we built the world's most adopted cloud. Join us and help us grow.

Key job responsibilities:

1. Partner with the sales team to design solutions for customers, drive AWS adoption and revenue.
2. Be an AWS evangelist. Educate customers of all sizes on the value proposition of AWS.
3. Participate in deep architectural discussions to build confidence and ensure customer success when building new and migrating existing applications, software, and services on the AWS platform.
4. Author or contribute to AWS customer-facing publications such as whitepapers, tutorials, etc.
5. Own each engagement and help ensure a timely and successful delivery of value.
