Brand and Naming Strategist, AWS Brand Strategy

AWS powers nearly everything on the internet—from the startup that just launched yesterday to the enterprise that's been running the world’s economy for decades. The brand that represents all of that technology is still being written, and you could help. We’re hiring a Brand Strategist to join the Creative Marketing team and shape how one of the world’s most consequential technology brands names, positions, and presents its product portfolio to the world. This is a role for someone who thinks in systems, leads with data, earns trust from senior stakeholders, and has the courage to say, ‘we should do it differently.’ AWS has one of the largest, most complex product portfolios in the world—hundreds of services spanning compute, storage, databases, machine learning, security, developer tools, and more. Managing that portfolio from a brand perspective isn’t just a naming exercise; it’s an ongoing act of strategic architecture. It’s intricate, high‑stakes work, and it’s a lot of fun. As a Brand Strategist, you’ll serve as a trusted advisor and strategic anchor for the product teams building the next generation of AWS services. You’ll help them understand that great naming and brand positioning aren’t constraints—they’re superpowers. You’ll bring the research, the frameworks, and the storytelling skills to make the case, and then you’ll roll up your sleeves and build alongside them. You know that brand is a key driver of growth, and you’ll approach every conversation, decision, and strategy through the lens of customer‑obsession and business growth. Key job responsibilities Own and continuously evolve the AWS naming system—the guardrails and guidance that keep hundreds of product names feeling coherent and intentional. Work with product teams early and often so naming decisions are baked in, not bolted on. Build the feedback loop that gives AWS leadership a clear, evidence‑based view of how we name and structure our portfolio to build leadership, connection, and love. Translate complex data into crisp, actionable insights that help stakeholders make better decisions faster. Champion the customer voice inside AWS. Use deep customer understanding to push beyond functional messaging and build brands that resonate emotionally as well as rationally. Partner with VP and director‑level product leaders across AWS to embed brand thinking into how they build, launch, and communicate their services. Develop education programs, automations, playbooks, and toolkits that help product teams self‑serve—scaling your impact exponentially. Advocate for distinctive brand choices—even when it’s uncomfortable. Present your point of view with evidence, earn the trust of the room, and then commit fully once a direction is set.
