    Job Description

    Application deadline: Nov 16, 2026

    Are you passionate about helping organizations transform their businesses through cloud technology? Amazon Web Services (AWS) Professional Services is looking for an Engagement Manager to lead the delivery of complex cloud solution projects and serve as a trusted advisor to our customers. In this role, you will combine technical knowledge with project leadership to drive successful implementations of AWS-based solutions. You will bridge business requirements with technical realities, facilitate meaningful discussions across stakeholders, and ensure every engagement delivers measurable outcomes. If you are a collaborative problem-solver who thrives at the intersection of technology and business strategy, we want to hear from you.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Lead and manage the full lifecycle of cloud implementation and migration projects, creating engagement schedules, defining workstreams, and building executable roadmaps aligned to customer business outcomes.
    • Bridge business requirements with technical solutions by distilling customer needs into clear technical requirements, decomposing complex problems, and making informed trade-off decisions that balance performance, scalability, and security.
    • Identify, assess, and mitigate project risks proactively while managing stakeholder expectations, driving timely decisions, and escalating issues effectively to internal and external leadership when needed.
    • Facilitate release planning and enforce quality mechanisms across engagements, holding teams accountable for operational rigor including status reporting, documentation standards, and adherence to AWS frameworks.
    • Build and maintain trusted customer relationships by understanding their strategic goals, communicating technical concepts to both technical and business audiences, and identifying opportunities to expand engagement scope.

    A day in the life

    Your morning might start with a stand-up alongside your cross-functional project team, aligning priorities for the sprint and reviewing progress against customer milestones. Mid-day, you could be facilitating a working session with customer stakeholders to refine technical requirements and address emerging risks. In the afternoon, you might review engagement financials, update project documentation, or mentor a newer team member on delivery best practices. You will regularly collaborate with solutions architects, consultants, and partner teams to keep engagements on track and customers confident in their cloud journey.

    About Company

    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.
