US Federal Government customers are rapidly adopting Amazon Web Services as a way to build scalable and cost-effective web and IT solutions for their businesses. To do that effectively, they need training, and not just a couple of PowerPoint slides and a long lecture. We are developing highly technical courses with extensive hands-on labs, e-learning courses that can be accessed 24x7, and self-paced labs that get customers deep into AWS technologies.
Here's your chance to join our team working in the highly visible role of Program Manager. In this role, you will orchestrate the day to day operations of our training team.
The successful candidate will possess the ability to take the initiative to complete complex tasks and projects quickly and autonomously, react with appropriate urgency to situations that require a quick turnaround, switch gears at a moment's notice, and take effective action without having to know the total picture.
This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph.
