Description

The AWS industry marketing team is seeking a customer and events marketing manager to spearhead the development and execution of our customer and events marketing strategy aligned to the overall global media & entertainment, games, and sports industry strategy.

This role will include traditional event planning and execution for our most important events, such as NAB, GDC, IBC, Cannes Lions, and various AWS Summits, as well as other events. This role owns speaker nominations, speaker prep, booth story and design, customer engagement activities, tracking of metrics, and reporting to internal teams. In addition, the person in this role will be expected to build a speaker bench of both internal and external speakers aligned to the marketing strategy and lead submitting speakers for leading industry events.

The person in this role will partner with internal teams such as product marketing, field marketing, business development, solutions architecture, sales, and digital marketing, as well as external agencies to deliver a bar-raising experience for our prospects and customers. To be successful in this role, you will need to utilize exceptional project management skills to manage pre-event communication, event planning, and post-event follow-up to optimize lead generation opportunities. This highly motivated and extremely organized candidate must have experience planning complex in-person events, managing projects happening concurrently, possess exceptional written and verbal communication skills, be comfortable working with both internal and external customers at all levels, and have experience working with global stakeholders. This person will need to work effectively within a small team and think strategically, while also rolling up their sleeves and getting stuff done – no detail will be too small and they'll never say "that's not my job". They’ll obsess over details, display poise and sophistication in fast-moving situations, embrace ambiguity, and deliver results.

• Materials Packaging: Coordinate the design, production, and distribution of event materials, ensuring they are of high quality, align with brand standards.

• Continuous Improvement: Utilize feedback and analytics to recommend and implement improvements for future events, aiming for innovation in how we present our brand and engage with our audience.
