Do you have an aptitude for analyzing customer requests and creating innovative business solutions/programs to address customer needs? The ability to translate complex scenarios into simplified mechanisms to enable customer outcomes? The knack to drive consensus across broad stakeholder groups? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a Customer-obsessed Customer Support Specialist to join the Private Pricing Programs and Experiences (3PX) team.

In this role, you will work on a team of Customer Help Managers to answer questions from the various Customer cohorts of the Private Pricing Program inclusive of the AWS field and external AWS Partners. You will respond to questions about the Private Pricing Program’s process, milestones, and mental models through quality Customer interactions. You will also partner with other Help Managers to analyze the volume and nature of Customers’ questions to identify themes and friction points in the Customer experience, report out insights with internal stakeholders, and drive continuous improvements to the program through closed-loop actioning.

The ideal candidate is driven to elevate their Customers’ experience and help them succeed. You keenly understand and strive to deliver the key elements of a quality Customer engagement including a gracious tone and speed to resolution. You are a self-learner who can dive deep to find answers to questions as needed. You are unflappable, and can mitigate the unexpected gracefully and effectively. You have a knack for connecting the dots and can quickly spot a rising trend or issue. You earn trust easily, communicate effectively, and can lead horizontally to drive action through others. You measure success by impact (vs. size of effort), and continuously inspect both approach and output to incrementally raise the bar over time.
