    Job Description

    This position is part of the AWS Specialist and Partner Organization (ASP). Specialists own the end-to-end go-to-market strategy for their respective technology domains, providing the business and technical expertise to help our customers succeed. Partner teams own the strategy, recruiting, development, and growth of our key technology and consulting partners. Together they provide our customers with the expertise and scale needed to build innovative solutions for their most complex challenges.

    Are you passionate about transforming how enterprises manage their financial operations through the power of agentic AI? Do you envision a future where intelligent automation eliminates the friction in contract-to-cash workflows, connecting the dots across contract management, billing, invoicing, collections, and cash application that no single system holds today? Then come help us bring the next generation of AI-powered financial intelligence to market at AWS.

    As a Specialist Solutions Architect, you will work at the intersection of AI, enterprise finance systems, and real-world business operations. You will own the technical relationship with design-partner customers, serving as their primary architectural guide from early engagement through production, managing delivery cadences, architecture syncs, and product issue prioritization. You will be both the voice of the customer to internal product teams and a hands-on practitioner who builds demos, validates releases, and enables implementations. Externally, you will author blog posts, reference architectures, and perspective documents that establish AWS"s point of view in the enterprise finance AI domain.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Customer Architecture & Delivery Ownership: Serve as the primary Solutions Architect for key customer engagements: own weekly delivery plans, architecture syncs, and the end-to-end technical relationship from proof-of-concept through production deployment across enterprise finance environments
    • Product Quality & Launch Readiness: Rigorously validate product releases across development stages (preview, beta, GA), proactively identifying blockers, filing issues, and building demo environments that showcase AI-driven contract-to-cash workflows to maintain customer confidence through launch milestones
    • Domain Solution Design: Design and validate reference architectures for applying agentic AI to enterprise finance processes, including contract interpretation, invoice validation, collections optimization, and cash application across ERP, CLM, and AR system landscapes
    • Technical Unblocking & Integration: Drive resolution of complex technical issues across identity, data integration, and platform layers, with particular focus on integration patterns across heterogeneous finance technology stacks (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Salesforce, and AR automation platforms)
    • Field Enablement & Thought Leadership: Build enablement assets (demo environments, sandbox configurations, solution guides) that scale the team"s ability to demonstrate value, while authoring technical blogs and reference architectures that establish AWS"s differentiated approach to finance AI
    • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work across product management, engineering, business development, and customer success teams to shape product roadmap priorities informed by direct customer feedback from enterprise finance stakeholders

    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.
