Product Feedback: Drive customer requirements alignment with AWS service teams' roadmaps, acting as the voice of media and entertainment customers

A day in the life
Your days blend technical depth with strategic advisory work across broadcasters and streamers. You'll architect cloud solutions for live sports streaming and broadcast workflows, build proof-of-concepts with AWS media services, collaborate with account teams on customer workshops, and share field feedback with AWS product teams. Throughout the week, you balance hands-on customer engagements with thought leadership—mentoring junior SAs, presenting at industry conferences, and documenting architectural patterns
