Job description

We're looking for a Senior Communications & Marketing Manager to own communications, content, and enablement for the AWS Builder Experience team. You'll make sure our story is clear, compelling, and consistent across every audience: writing launch content, building enablement resources, crafting narratives that connect our work to broader AWS goals, and getting the right message to the right people at the right time.

This is a high-visibility, high-autonomy role. You'll work directly with the leadership team and collaborate across product, engineering, developer relations, and marketing teams to shape how we talk about what we build.

Key job responsibilities

• Communications Strategy: Define and own the communications strategy and measurement framework for Builder Experience products. Recommend approaches, set priorities, and drive execution for product launches, milestones, and leadership content.
• Enablement & Content: Create resources, guides, and programs that help people discover and get value from Builder Experience products. Translate technical work into clear, audience-appropriate content. Build scalable playbooks and mechanisms for repeatable communications workflows.
• Narratives & Storytelling: Craft compelling narratives that connect our work to broader AWS and Amazon goals. Support leadership with messaging for team gatherings, planning docs, and VP-level updates.
• Event Communications: Support messaging for events (re:Invent, AWS Summits, Heroes Summit) including pre/post event comms, social coverage, and recap content.
• Metrics & Business Impact: Define success metrics that connect communications effectiveness to product adoption and business outcomes. Own measurement frameworks, propose new metrics, and use data to refine strategy.
• Stakeholder Management: Build relationships across adjacent teams (PR, AWS Marketing, Developer Relations) to ensure alignment and amplification opportunities. Work closely with the Marketing Manager for AWS Builder Center and Community, and the Marketing Manager for AWS Builder Loft to align messaging, coordinate programs, and ensure a unified voice across the Builder Experience portfolio.
• Mentoring & Team Development: Mentor and develop others in the organization. Contribute to hiring, peer feedback, and talent development.

This role requires up to 40% domestic and international travel to support events (re:Invent, AWS Summits, Heroes Summit), cross-site collaboration, and stakeholder engagement. Travel will vary by quarter and peak around major AWS events.
