Job Description

Do you possess a strong technical documentation background coupled with a passion for creating exceptional content? Are you eager to take on the challenge of supporting Amazon's position as the leading innovator in cloud computing and web services technology? This role presents an exciting opportunity to collaborate with a stellar technical team and author technical content within a cross-functional, distributed environment.

AWS Supply Chain is a cloud-based application that works with your enterprise resource planning (ERP) and supply chain management systems to connect and extract your inventory, supply, and demand related data from existing ERP or supply chain systems into a single data model. The AWS Supply Chain service is looking for a Technical Writer to produce high-quality technical publications for the service.

Ideally, you have both a technical background that enables easy interaction with software developers and a demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality technical documentation. This is an opportunity to explain complex information concisely. You will become part of a customer-obsessed, dynamic team of talented, geographically distributed, highly technical communicators.

Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. Striking a healthy balance between your personal and professional life is crucial to your happiness and success here, which is why we aren’t focused on how many hours you spend at work or online. Instead, we’re happy to offer a flexible schedule so you can have a more productive and well-balanced life—both in and outside of work.

We have a formal mentor search application that lets you find a mentor who works best for you based on location, job family, job level etc. Your manager can also help you find mentors. In addition to formal mentors, we work and train together so that we are always learning from one another, and we celebrate and support the career progression of our team members.

Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have multiple employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and we host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences. Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 16 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

This position is open to candidates in Seattle, WA

Code: 10027, 10028, 10030
