As part of the AWS Applied AI Solutions organization, we have a vision to provide business applications, leveraging Amazon's unique experience and expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers' businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon's real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use.
AWS Applied AI Solutions (AAIS) is building toward a future where every business innovates with Amazon AI teammates. To get there, we build AI solutions that improve human capabilities and transform entire business functions. We create end-to-end products that surprise and delight out-of-the-box, making complex things easy and hard things possible, with no cloud experience required. We start with customers who embrace the future and build bridges to meet the rest where they are. We pursue ambitious opportunities with conviction, and we are looking for builders who share that mindset.
The Regional Higher Ed Lead is the single point of ownership for AWS Academy within an assigned geographic territory. This role is accountable for growing and managing a portfolio of higher education institutions, advising on technical curriculum and cloud/AI strategy, and serving as the trusted advisor connecting institutions to the right combination of AWS education programs. You will own the institutional relationship end-to-end — from pipeline development, through onboarding, through long-term account health — while defining the technical standards and requirements that ensure institutions successfully implement and deliver Academy courses. You will work across AWS teams (sales, public sector, partner organizations, curriculum, and platform engineering) to bring coordinated value to higher education institutions in your region.
Key job responsibilities
• Shape the strategy and mission of the AWS training program.
• Develop and maintain technical training content, lab exercises, presentations, and supporting materials.
• Deliver instructor-led classroom training to end-user customers and partners on a regular schedule.
• Partner with key vendors and internal stakeholders to ensure training content is accurate and effective.
• Mentor and develop internal and external authorized trainers through the Train-the-Trainer program.
A day in the life
You will start the day facilitating an instructor-led AWS technical training session for a cohort of customer developers and architects guiding them through hands-on lab exercises on core AWS services. Between delivery sessions you will collaborate with content developers to review, update, and tailor course materials ensuring technical accuracy reflects the latest AWS service releases. You will work alongside the T&C team in Stockholm, working back from the customer and shaping their training requirements into learning programs. No two days are identical: one week you may deliver foundational cloud training to a new enterprise customer in Stockholm; the next you may be supporting a cohort of learners working towards their first AWS exam.

Amazon runs the largest online store in the United States and rents cloud computing to businesses and governments through Amazon Web Services. AWS pioneered renting computing power over the internet, and Amazon built its own delivery network to get orders to customers quickly. Shoppers buy from Amazon and from independent sellers on its store, and Prime members pay a subscription for fast free shipping, streaming video and music, and other perks. AWS rents out computing power, storage, databases, and AI tools so companies can run software without owning servers, and Amazon also makes Kindle e-readers and Echo speakers with the Alexa assistant. Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994, and it is based in Seattle, Washington.
