Do you love building new strategic and data-driven businesses?

Do you have a background in communication services (email, SMS, encrypted communications, multi-channel and CPaaS)?

Join the Worldwide Specialist Organization (WWSO) team as a GTM Specialist for Communication Developer Services.

As a Communication Developer Services (CDS) GTM Specialist, you will help drive the growth of AWS End User Messaging and Amazon Simple Email Service (SES).

These comprehensive cloud-based communication services enable customers to reach their audiences across all major channels - email, SMS, push notifications, and WhatsApp - to improve marketing outreach, transactional communications, and customer engagement.

You will meet with marketing technologists, chief digital officers, customer experience leaders, and technologists who determine how integrated email and messaging strategies are implemented in their enterprise.

In this role, you will establish CDS services as the primary customer communication platform for enterprise, partner and ISV customers.

You will work frequently with AWS sales, business development, marketing and product management to accelerate the sales cycle by driving adoption and revenue through sales enablement programs.

You will drive awareness and scale by launching sales programs and solving problems, making it easier for Amazon sellers to sell both Amazon SES and AWS End User Messaging solutions across email, SMS, WhatsApp, and push notification channels.

If you have passion for digital marketing and omnichannel customer engagement, understand the importance of building scaled sales programs and can effectively work with sales, technical and marketing leaders...

Consider joining the Communication Developer Services team, we are building demand generation programs and working directly with customers to help them realize the true potential of comprehensive multi-channel communication strategies using AWS End User Messaging and Amazon Simple Email Service.
