Corporate Counsel, AWS Sales and Marketing
Seattle, Washington
Amazon's Legal Department is looking for a talented attorney who is willing to learn and support Amazon Web Services (AWS), one of the world's fastest growing technology companies. This Corporate Counsel role is based at Amazon's headquarters in Seattle, Washington or HQ2 in Arlington, Virginia and it will support the AWS Sales, Marketing, and Global Services business team.
