Job ID: 10560541 | Amazon Web Services, Inc.

Own AWS's competitive point of view on Google Cloud. As a Senior GCP Cloud Intelligence SA, your analysis shapes how thousands of AWS field teams win — and feeds directly into our product roadmap and go-to-market strategy. This is a rare seat where deep Google Cloud expertise doesn't just close individual deals; it changes how AWS competes at scale. You'll be a technical and business leader who influences the AWS field on sales strategy and helps design cloud-native solutions for customers. You'll build and maintain cloud migration and modernization acumen across AWS and other public clouds, then scale that expertise by documenting your insights, sharpening our product offerings, and strengthening our go‑to‑market campaigns.

Key job responsibilities

• Serve as the subject matter expert on GCP technology and go-to-market strategy for the AWS field.
• Partner with field SAs and BDs to translate customers' business and technical requirements into the best‑fit AWS approach, and present those recommendations directly to CxO and technical audiences (Architect/Director).
• Analyze competitive trends and offerings to generate technical and business insights, and grow a community of compete specialists who build on your work.
• Create technical content that scales your expertise — decks, whitepapers, and recordings — and deliver presentations and trainings to field SAs, BDMs, and product stakeholders.
• Manage a fast-moving pipeline of technical engagements with operational excellence, delivering rapidly and reprioritizing as opportunities shift.

A day in the life

Alongside on‑demand, self‑service resources, we provide targeted one‑to‑one support on specific competitive opportunities. We hire SAs and BDMs who are SMEs in one or more public clouds to advise AWS field teams on the best strategies for building compelling business cases that support customers co‑existing and partnering with competing public cloud services.
