Job summary

Work closely with engineering, product, and product marketing to translate developer signals into roadmap opportunities. Expect leadership in shaping community health and strategic growth within AWS.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional non‑internship marketing experience.
• Experience using data and metrics to drive improvements.
• Experience with Excel or Tableau (data manipulation, macros, charts and pivot tables).
• Experience building, executing and scaling cross‑functional marketing programs.
• Experience communicating results to senior leadership.

Responsibilities

• Run the community day to day. Triage issues, moderate channels, answer and route questions, keep response times low.

• Run recurring rituals. Community calls, office hours, AMAs, and challenges that turn visitors into regulars.
• Create content and represent the project. Publish blogs, tutorials, and samples. Show up at meetups, hackathons, and conferences with hands‑on workshops.
• Amplify releases. Partner with engineering and DevRel to turn changelogs into launch stories across community channels and social.
• Drive audience growth. Identify channels that reach the right developers, run experiments, measure what brings contributors who stay, and double down on what works. Build ecosystem relationships with adjacent tools and frameworks.
• Be the community's voice inside AWS. Bring developer pain points and opportunities into roadmap conversations. Partner with PMM to keep positioning grounded in how developers actually talk about the tool.
• Set the strategy. Define community health metrics and evolve the playbook as the project grows.
