About the Role
Customer Solutions Managers (CSMs) at AWS are obsessed with accelerating customer cloud adoption and driving measurable value from cloud investments. As a CSM in Healthcare & Life Sciences, you'll partner with senior leaders and engineering teams at global organizations to strategize and manage their end-to-end cloud and AI transformation journeys.
We help Healthcare & Life Sciences organizations adopt advanced cloud and AI solutions while migrating existing workloads to the cloud. Together with customers, we shape and execute strategies to build mindshare and broaden the use of AWS offerings across their enterprises.

You will translate strategic initiatives in the account plan into executable actions, working backwards from our customers key milestones. You will manage cadence by leading the reporting and tracking functions along the way. The execution of education plans, roadmap to business outcome alignments, Executive Briefing Sessions, and go-live events and transitions are a few items owned by the CSM that are critical to the success of our customer’s cloud journey.
You are encouraged to think big, invent and take ownership on customer challenges. You will not only bring the best of AWS/Amazon to our customers, you will proactively help solve the customer’s challenges through new ideas, tools and mechanisms.
Successful candidates will have a strong technical background, be aware of details that matter, have excellent problem-solving abilities, and be exemplary communicators both at the executive and project team level.
