Senior Engagement Manager, Executive Briefing Center, AWS Executive Briefing Center

The AWS Executive Briefing Center (EBC) connects C-level customer executives with AWS leaders to accelerate strategic partnerships and drive business outcomes. We are seeking a Senior Engagement Manager to own and deliver executive engagements across our Seattle briefing center, designing tailored experiences that align customer priorities with AWS capabilities and advance long-term relationships.
In this role, you will serve as a strategic advisor to AWS account teams and a trusted engagement lead for senior customer executives. You will manage the full lifecycle of executive engagements, from consultative discovery and agenda design through participant preparation, day-of execution, and post-engagement follow-through. You will work directly with C-suite customers and AWS leaders, translating complex business challenges into compelling engagement strategies that deliver measurable results.
This is not a traditional program management role. You will operate with significant autonomy, exercising independent judgment on engagement design, customer prioritization, and resource trade-offs. The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, manages a large portfolio without sacrificing quality, and brings a builder mentality to improving how AWS engages its most strategic customers.

Key job responsibilities
• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of a high-volume portfolio of executive engagements, from qualification and discovery through execution and follow-up, ensuring each engagement advances customer relationships and business outcomes
• Serve as a strategic advisor to account teams, leading consultative intake sessions to define engagement objectives, architect content strategies, and align AWS executive participants to customer priorities
• Facilitate world-class engagement experiences for C-suite customers and AWS VP-level executives, managing day-of execution, hospitality coordination, and real-time adjustments
• Conduct customer research (earnings calls, 10-Ks, industry trends, competitive landscape) to inform engagement design and ensure differentiated, relevant positioning
• Manage cross-functional coordination across sales, technical, product marketing, and executive leadership organizations to deliver cohesive engagement experiences
• Define and track engagement success metrics, capturing customer feedback, pipeline impact, and relationship progression to continuously improve program delivery
• Develop and iterate scalable engagement frameworks, templates, and operating procedures that enable the team to maintain quality at increasing volume
• Mentor junior Engagement Managers, raising the bar on strategic engagement design and customer outcomes
• Partner with leadership to shape program strategy, identify opportunities, and drive operational improvements across the program


A day in the life
Your week balances hands-on customer engagement with strategic planning. On a given day, you might lead a C-suite briefing session with an AWS VP, then consult with an account team on a multi-engagement sequence for a renewal opportunity. Between engagements, you review pipeline data, prepare AWS executives for upcoming sessions, refine engagement templates, or mentor a team member on discovery techniques. You work closely with program managers, site leaders, product marketing, and sales across a global program. The work is fast-paced, cross-functional, and directly tied to customer business outcomes.
