Trusted by more startups around the world, AWS makes the power of cloud computing accessible to all. We give founders everywhere access to the same technology that powers the world’s largest companies. With nearly 20 years of experience, gained from supporting hundreds of thousands of startups, the AWS Startups team helps founders prove that their world‑changing ideas are possible, at any stage of growth, and any level of funding. This is why more startups, and over 80% of unicorns, choose to launch on AWS.

You’ll work closely with key investors to unlock the full potential of their portfolio companies on AWS, enabling faster innovation and scaling. Your role focuses on creating meaningful initiatives between the investors, helping startups leverage cloud to achieve breakthrough growth. You’ll combine deep technical understanding of cloud and emerging technologies, such as generative AI with business acumen to identify opportunities and ensure startups have access to the tools, expertise, and support needed to build world‑changing products on AWS infrastructure.

Key job responsibilities

• Execute and drive initiatives with venture firms, develop investor‑focused programs that accelerate portfolio company success
• Design and implement solutions that address specific startup and investor needs
• Collaborate on cross‑functional initiatives involving AWS Startups, Sales, Marketing, and Product teams
• Track program effectiveness and provide insights based on feedback and results
• Gather early‑stage market signals from investors and founders to inform AWS innovation and to meet the evolving needs of tomorrow's breakthrough companies
