Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own and continuously evolve the AWS naming system — the guardrails, and guidance that keep hundreds of product names feeling coherent and intentional.
  • Work with product teams early and often so naming decisions are baked in, not bolted on.
  • Build the feedback loop that give AWS leadership a clear, evidence-based view of how we name and structure our portfolio to build leadership, connection, and love.
  • Translate complex data into crisp, actionable insights that help stakeholders make better decisions faster.
  • Champion the customer voice inside AWS. Use deep customer understanding to push beyond functional messaging and build brands that resonate emotionally as well as rationally.

  • Develop education programs, automations, playbooks, and toolkits that help product teams self-serve — scaling your impact exponentially.
  • Advocate for distinctive brand choices — even when it's uncomfortable. Present your point of view with evidence, earn the trust of the room, and then commit fully once a direction is set.
