A day in the life Your day centers on one of AWS's most strategic AI partnerships. Mornings might start with a call with the partner's sales leaders to review deals in flight, then a quick huddle with solutions architects on a customer who needs help getting to production. By afternoon, you could be getting a stalled deal moving again by bringing in finance and legal, or using AI tools to turn raw spend data into a dashboard leaders actually read. Some days you'll write the briefing for an executive meeting. On others, you'll help shape how AWS works with AI companies for years to come.
