DescriptionAmazon Web Services (AWS) seeks a creative, high-judgment public relations professional with exceptional storytelling instincts and deep media relationships to drive communications programs for the AWS Partner Network. The right candidate is a strong writer who can translate complex cloud and AI technology into compelling narratives that resonate with business and technology audiences, and who thrives on building relationships — with reporters, partners, and internal stakeholders alike.
