Job ID: 2881870 | Amazon Web Services New Zealand Limited

Sales, Marketing and Global Services (SMGS)
AWS Sales, Marketing, and Global Services (SMGS) is responsible for driving revenue, adoption, and growth from the largest and fastest growing small- and mid-market accounts to enterprise-level customers including public sector. The AWS Global Support team interacts with leading companies and believes that world-class support is critical to customer success. AWS Support also partners with a global list of customers that are building mission-critical applications on top of AWS services.

The AWS Incident Detection and Response team is part of the Enhanced Support Services (ES2) organisation within AWS Support, and is dedicated to offering eligible AWS Enterprise Support customers proactive engagement and incident management to reduce the potential for failure and to accelerate recovery of critical workloads from disruption. We achieve these objectives by working closely with customers to develop runbooks and response plans customized to the context of each workload onboarded to the service. Onboarded workloads are monitored 24x7 by a team of Incident Management Engineers (IMEs) to detect and engage customers on a call bridge within 5 minutes of a critical alarm.

ABOUT YOU
Incident Management Engineers have a broad skill set with demonstrated career progression and a proven track record of delivering results. The successful candidate will possess strong analytical acumen, solid technology experience, superb business judgment, strategic account ownership and a propensity to dive deep to solve complex problems. You will also have a passion for creating/providing a world class experience for our customers. The candidate must understand the competitive and industry landscape and must have the leadership presence and communication skills to effectively work with customers at all levels of their organization. You must be a self-starter and able to execute at both a tactical and strategic level – with a strong attention to detail. This is a global role that requires excellent written and verbal communication skills and a passion and desire for leading the resolution of critical incidents. Your decisions are not only fundamental to helping protect our most critical customers but will help maintain the health of AWS customers worldwide.

Finally, you are passionate about technology with a desire to learn more and do more with AWS.
