Sr. Content Strategist, Technical Content Experience
$137,800 - $186,400/yr
DESCRIPTION
Join us on the Content Excellence team as a Senior Content Strategist and help define the standards and frameworks that govern AWS technical content.
At AWS, content consistency doesn't happen by accident; it requires clear specifications for how content is structured, organized, evaluated, and managed. As AI transforms content creation and management, these foundational rules become essential for authors and machines alike.
As part of the Technical Content Experience organization, the Content Excellence team is looking for a strategic thinker to define what good content looks like, and then partner with platform teams, content creators, and AI systems to ensure those standards are understood, adopted, and applied. The right candidate thinks in frameworks and systems and influences through clarity and collaboration. They excel at translating ambiguity into actionable specifications that other teams operationalize.
This role requires exceptional communication skills, strong analytical thinking, and the ability to influence without authority.
