•Serve as a communications advisor to local leadership and stakeholders— preparing spokespeople for interviews, providing real-time counsel and communication support within tight timelines, anticipating issues, and developing proactive response strategies
•Monitor industry trends and news cycles – identifying opportunities for AWS to contribute to industry conversations and applying learnings to strengthen our approach
