• Formulate and execute a cloud adoption strategy that delights our customers and builds strong relationships that lead to strategic revenue streams that exceed AWS objectives.
• Become a trusted advisor by gaining deep knowledge of AWS services, design patterns and best practices, and sharing that knowledge with clients, other SAs and the wider AWS builder community.
• Act as the voice of the customer for AWS service teams to enhance the AWS platform.
• Work with other SAs to develop reusable solutions to common business and architectural problems.
• Educate customers by leading workshops and hands-on classes to demonstrate how to use AWS services.
