Amazon Web Services, Inc.
This position is part of the AWS Specialist and Partner Organization (ASP).

Partner teams own the strategy, recruiting, development, and growth of our key technology and consulting partners, together giving customers the expertise and scale needed to build innovative solutions for their most complex challenges.
