Amazon is inventing at the frontier of computing - designing custom chips that power cloud infrastructure and AI workloads at unprecedented scale. We"re seeking a high-judgment communications professional to join our team to tell that story.

For over a decade, Amazon has designed custom chips that have transformed cloud computing and artificial intelligence. What began with the 2015 acquisition of Annapurna Labs has grown into a $10+ billion business. Today, Graviton processors run applications for 90% of AWS"s largest customers and Trainium chips train frontier AI models including one of the world"s largest AI supercomputers.

As PR Manager for Chips, you"ll shape how customers, media, and the industry understand Amazon"s leadership in semiconductor design and advanced computing hardware. You"ll translate chip architecture breakthroughs and large-scale deployments into clear, credible stories-from major product launches to customer wins to technical innovations.

The ideal candidate will have experience building proactive PR programs in deeply technical domains; navigating complex, multi-stakeholder environments; and translating hardware R&D into accessible narratives. You"ll leverage earned, owned, and social media to amplify our chip innovations while maintaining the technical credibility essential in semiconductor and hardware communications. Being flexible in managing ambiguity as priorities shift-from product launches to competitive positioning to customer announcements-will be key.

Key job responsibilities

  • Partner closely with chip architects, engineers, and business leaders on product launches, strategic announcements, and thought leadership
  • Prepare engineers as credible spokespeople who can represent our work externally
  • Work across Amazon and AWS communications teams to coordinate messaging and amplify our hardware story
  • Build proactive media strategies that showcase customer impact and technical differentiation

About the team

This role is part of the communications team supporting Amazon"s investments in foundational AI models, custom silicon, and quantum computing, within Amazon"s Global Communications and Community Impact organization.

About the Company

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
