The Programme

AWS’s strategic programs, including education programs (AWS Educate & AWS Academy) and AWS Joint Innovation Center are part of Amazon’s global initiatives to accelerate cloud-centric innovation across startup, public sector and enterprise, and to prepare young talents for the cloud-enabled jobs of tomorrow.  

Through strategic programs, we build and grow strategic partnerships with public sector, education institutes, startups and enterprises to grow the innovation ecosystem.  

We are keen to hire people who share this passion and can take from their current experiences and learning to help challenge our expectations.

You will be responsible for defining the operational efficiencies of the programs. Working with internal stakeholders, you will be part of the core team in driving this initiative locally while ensuring alignment with and reporting of the metrics to the leadership.  

AWS is seeking a go-getter and a quick learner who can dive into the depths of the programs, whilst thinking about innovative ways to reinvent processes and mechanisms of the programs.

You will help us ensure customer expectations are met through ensuring clear and swift follow-up. Working across universities, high schools, education institutions, governments and companies you will quickly understand their businesses and empathize with the challenges they face.
