Description

Media Specialist TAMs work across all AWS Elemental media products and CloudFront to apply their product knowledge to key customer projects during the specification, development, deployment and acceptance phases to deploy video workflows.

Media Specialist TAMs work hand-in-hand with Media Specialist Solutions Architecture (SA) teams in AWS Sales, with Media Specialist SAs working to understand customer needs and design relevant media solutions, Media Specialist TAMs also work closely with customers to move those solutions from conceptual design to long-term production operations. When customized solutions are needed, the Media Specialist TAM may also work closely with AWS Professional Services by representing the operational needs of the customer and aligning with the capabilities of AWS Support. While a Media Specialist TAM is not expected to develop software, a software development background is valuable in helping understand complex customer needs and drive software solutions.

Media Specialist TAMs take overall ownership of the long-term operational health of their deployed solutions and, by extension, significantly contribute to the overall success of their assigned customers. Media Specialist TAMs will also work closely with AWS Support TAMs, who will have overall TAM responsibility for AWS Enterprise Support customers. Most importantly, Media Specialist TAMs recognize that long-term customer success depends on on-going support and deep domain-focused guidance throughout the lifespan of the customer.

- Complete the onboarding and off-boarding requirements of assigned key customers

- Own customer health dashboards for media workflows, working closely with the AWS TAMs and Technical Project Manager where assigned
