Job description

Description

The AWS Industries Customer Acceleration Team is building a first‑of‑its‑kind Security Services SA function dedicated to the largest, most complex enterprise customers. This founding role will define how AWS goes deep on security services adoption—paired 1:1 with a dedicated Security Specialist Seller, owning architecture and customer outcomes across a named portfolio of our top customers.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the long‑term security architect for enterprise customers within an industry, designing solutions across detection and response, identity governance, data protection, and network security.
• Engage CISOs and security engineering leaders as a technical peer—leading architecture reviews, security assessments, and proof‑of‑concept guidance.
• Drive measurable adoption of the AWS Security Services portfolio, including Security Hub, GuardDuty, Inspector, Detective, IAM Identity Center, Macie, Security Lake, Network Firewall, WAF, and emerging capabilities.
• Help customers secure their generative AI and agentic AI workloads by architecting security controls that keep pace with their innovation velocity.
• Shape the roadmap by translating field patterns and customer friction into structured product feedback.
• Create reusable assets (reference architectures, blogs, workshops, conference sessions) that scale impact beyond individual engagements.
• Own at least one team‑level initiative per year that raises the bar for the function as it scales.

A Day in the Life

Your morning might start with a Financial Services customer whose CISO needs to consolidate five security vendors into a unified posture management framework— you map their current detection stack against AWS‑native capabilities and sketch a phased migration plan. After lunch, you guide a Healthcare customer’s engineering team through an architecture for securing agentic AI workloads that interact with sensitive data. Between meetings, you draft a brief on a pattern you've seen across three accounts and flag it to the product team. No two days look the same— but depth and follow‑through are constant.

Basic Qualifications

• Experience in a technical role within a sales organization.
• Experience communicating across technical and non‑technical audiences, including executive‑level stakeholders.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics or equivalent, or experience in a professional field or military.
• Experience in IT development or implementation/consulting in the software or Internet industries.
• Experience within specific technology domain areas (e.g., software development, cloud computing, systems engineering, infrastructure, security, networking, data & analytics).
• Experience designing, implementing, or consulting in applications and infrastructures.
• Experience with presentations and speaking with executives, IT, management, and developers.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in infrastructure architecture, database architecture, and networking.
• Knowledge of AWS services, market segments, customer base, and industry verticals.
