This IXT Business Partner will collaborate with the Leadership and PXT teams to contribute diversity perspective to business strategy and goals.

Reporting to the AWS IXT Leader for APJC and EMEA, you’ll use your skills to work both across the business as well as with specific teams to help them develop and rollout innovative and impactful DEI plans.
