The Cloud Economics team can help answer the customer question: “What value can I expect to achieve by using AWS?”

Cost and operational effectiveness to support the adoption of new technologies is key to accelerating the business and technological benefits of the AWS platform.

You will engage with customers’ Enterprise IT, Operations, and Finance teams to implement best practices for adoption and cost savings. This will include generating and providing recommendations on how customers can optimize their usage of AWS, services not considered, working to reengineer internal people and processes, and working with partners to ensure ongoing success. You will be experienced at working with large data sets, have a familiarity of IT transformation within large organizations, and working directly within the executive suite. You will have superb communication and customer-relationship skills, outstanding analytic insight, and be a passionate advocate for AWS customers.
