As an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Sr. Customer Solutions Manager you will guide AWS customers along their multi‑year cloud journey, ensuring all AWS teams deliver outcomes effectively.
You will collaborate with customer and AWS leadership, driving cross‑functional alignment among Sales, Support, Solutions Architecture, and Professional Services, and support major workload migrations. You will translate strategic initiatives into actionable plans, manage cadence through reporting and tracking, and lead education plans, executive briefings, and go‑live events.
Key Job Responsibilities
Identify and accelerate customers' realization of value throughout the cloud lifecycle through adoption of AWS services, partner solutions, and best practices
Own end‑to‑end customer transformation strategy, connecting technical execution to measurable business outcomes
Design and drive strategic initiatives including large‑scale migrations, AI/ML adoption, and data modernization programs specific to Life Sciences workflows
Create, manage, and deliver complex business and technology programs, navigating risks and roadblocks in ambiguous environments
Establish and mature operating models and governance structures to drive scale and long‑term success
Orchestrate cross‑functional delivery across sales, solutions architecture, enterprise support, professional services, and AWS partners
Earn trust from technical practitioners to C‑suite executives; serve as the customer's cloud journey coach and voice of the customer within AWS
Lead executive briefings, roadmap reviews, and business outcome alignment sessions
Apply deep understanding of Life Sciences regulatory requirements (FDA, HIPAA, GxP) and domain‑specific use cases
Help customers achieve organizational cloud readiness and AI fluency through skills development and experience‑based accelerators
Mentor and develop other CSMs; drive process improvements and mechanisms that scale impact across the portfolio
A Day in the Life of a CSM
No two days look alike. You might lead an executive briefing with a pharma CTO, unblock a multi‑petabyte migration with Solutions Architects, advocate for a customer feature request in an internal product review, build a GenAI prototype using Bedrock and Strands, prepare a business outcome report quantifying quarterly impact, or coach a customer team through organizational cloud readiness. The role blends strategic thinking with hands‑on execution, technical depth with executive communication, and customer obsession with internal innovation.
