Public Relations Manager, Amazon Web Services

Most are familiar with Amazon.com, the retailer, but retail is just one business for Amazon. The newest of Amazon's customers include developers from companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500 around the world. Customers of Amazon Web Services (AWS) can take advantage of a platform of technology infrastructure services that are based on the same back-end technology that Amazon.com uses to run its own retail operations. In addition to technology infrastructure services, Amazon Payments enables companies, both large and small, to take advantage of the payments platform that Amazon.com uses with millions of customers worldwide.

AWS is at the forefront of a new generation of technology enablement and is among the fastest-growing businesses at Amazon.com. The services offered to businesses through AWS and Amazon Payments enable businesses to focus on the differentiating factors of their businesses rather than the technology required to run them.

The PR manager will assist in managing worldwide proactive and some reactive media and key influencer relations for the AWS and Amazon Payments businesses.
