GTM Specialist, Service Specialist Orgnization

Overview

Would you like to be the person in Seattle who makes sure the demands and the potential of CMHK customers are heard, understood, and acted on by the teams that build the products? As a Go-to-Market Specialist (GTMS) based in the US, you sit close to AWS service teams and global stakeholders, and you use that proximity to carry the reality of the China Mainland & Hong Kong market into the rooms where product and service decisions are made. You are equal parts specialist and advocate: you understand the technology deeply, you translate CMHK customer needs into a compelling case, and you influence and convince the key people who can act on it.

This role is built for someone who is genuinely self-driven and accountable for outcomes. Success is not measured by activity — it is measured by results: the roadmap asks you land, the stakeholders you move, the pipeline you create, and the adoption you drive. You will operate at high intensity, hold multiple engagements at once, and keep pace with a fast-moving cloud market. You are comfortable under pressure, you take ownership without waiting to be told, and you have the personal presence and communication skills to earn trust quickly with both service-team leaders and customers. Above all, you are someone who pushes: you do not simply flag a problem, you drive the specific action that resolves it.

The ideal candidate combines credible technical understanding of cloud, infrastructure, and managed services with strong business instincts and communication. You should be able to hold your own with a service-team engineer on the technical substance and, in the same afternoon, frame a crisp, data-backed argument that convinces a product leader to prioritize a CMHK customer requirement. A strong sense of ownership, a bias for action, and the ability to deliver results in ambiguity are essential.

What Makes This Role Different

Beyond the standard specialist mandate, we are hiring against four differentiating capabilities. Candidates will be assessed explicitly against each.

1. Real technical understanding of cloud, infrastructure, and managed services

You bring a strong understanding of the cloud business — not just what a service does, but how cloud infrastructure and managed services fit together commercially and technically, where the boundaries and trade-offs are, and when a given approach is the right one for a customer. Ideally you also have a working understanding of accelerated computing and GPU-carried workloads (training or inference) and the infrastructure choices they drive. You hold a defensible technical opinion in front of both a customer architect and an AWS service team.

2. Presence, affinity, and communication that earns trust fast

You build rapport quickly and are easy to work with under pressure. Your written and verbal communication is clear, concise, and persuasive, whether you are in front of a service GM, a product leader, or a customer executive. People trust you with their decisions because you are credible and you follow through.

3. Self-driven ownership and accountability for results

You do not wait to be assigned work — you see what needs to happen and you own it. You set your own agenda against the outcomes that matter, you operate independently at high intensity, and you hold yourself accountable for the result, not just the effort. When something is ambiguous, you make a call and move.

4. The ability to influence and push things to happen

This is the core operating trait of the role. You diagnose why a customer need is not landing with a service team, you build the case, and then you drive the relevant people — internal and external — to act on it. You escalate when you should, you disagree and commit when you must, and you do not let important things quietly stall.
