Description
Description
What if your job was to make sure senior leaders always have the operational discipline, rhythm, and insight needed to deliver — and that they are always aligned with the standards set across the wider organisation?
That’s essentially what you’ll do as a Sales Strategy Developer in the UK Central Government, Defence & National Security business at AWS. You’ll be embedded within the leadership team and will be responsible for ensuring the wider business operates with the cadence, governance, and quality required to meet the expectations of UK, Germany and International Organisations Public Sector (UKGI PS).
You’ll work in conjunction with the UKGI PS Business Manager, delivering against the frameworks, operating rhythm, and standards they set while making sure your team’s deliverables are on time, of the highest quality, and aligned with WW Public Sector (WWPS) requirements.
Here’s What Makes This Role Genuinely Different
You will collaborate with Field Sales Operations to be the operational engine of the Central Government, Defence & National Security business. You’ll deliver against the business rhythm set for UKGI PS, making sure the Central Government, Defence & National Security teams meet the deadlines and requirements of the wider organisation. When the UKGI PS Business Manager sets the standard, you’ll make sure your teams hit it.
You will turn data into decisions for the Central Government, Defence & National Security business. You’ll surface the insights that matter, frame the trade-offs clearly, and make sure every business review drives action — not just reporting. You’ll complement what Field Sales Ops provides by contextualising data for your leadership.
You will bring rigour without bureaucracy.
Governance doesn’t have to mean slowness. You’ll deliver against the operating mechanisms set for UKGI PS, keeping the leadership team accountable and aligned while staying lean, fast, and focused on what actually moves the needle.
You will solve real world, complex problems. How do you keep the Central Government, Defence & National Security business aligned with organisation-wide priorities when demands compete? How do you ensure sector and team level commitments don’t drift? How do you implement a cadence that’s tight enough to drive execution but flexible enough to adapt? These are the puzzles you’ll own.

build things that didn’t exist before. Whether it’s an AI-powered workflow that automates action tracking, a smarter way to prepare the Central Government, Defence & National Security leaders for their most important decisions, or a tailored implementation of an org-wide framework. You won’t just manage processes, you’ll invent better ones.
We’re looking for someone who is genuinely interested in the machinery of government and national security, and gets excited about operational excellence, thinks in systems, and asks “why do we do it this way?” daily, and has the drive to go and fix the answer. If you’re the kind of person who sees a messy process and can’t rest until it’s clean, you’ll fit right in.
Key job responsibilities
Deliver against the UKGI PS operating rhythm. You’ll ensure the Central Government, Defence & National Security business meets the cadence set for UKGI PS. Scheduling and running weekly, monthly, and quarterly reviews that drive accountability and decision-making. You’ll ensure every meeting has a clear purpose, the right preparation, and outcomes that are tracked to completion. You won’t design the operating rhythm from scratch. You’ll set the team up to deliver against the rhythm set by the organisation, making sure the Central Government, Defence & National Security business meets deadlines and requirements.
Align with UKGI PS Front Office standards. You’ll ensure sector, and team level deliverables — Operating Plan submissions, monthly and quarterly business review inputs, governance outputs, including financial budgets that meet the standards, formats, and deadlines set. You’ll be the point of contact for centralised requests and will ensure quality and timeliness of all inputs.
Implement and iterate on org-wide frameworks. You’ll adopt measurement frameworks, SOPs, and best practices established at the UKGI PS level, tailoring them for the Central Government, Defence & National Security business’s context while maintaining consistency. You’ll track whether strategic initiatives are delivering against defined success criteria, using frameworks designed collaboratively with the UKGI PS Business Manager. You’ll feed back learnings to continuously improve the approach.

o clear owners, deadlines, and follow-through. Nothing drifts on your watch.
Feed into the Operating Plan process. You’ll support the operating plan process by providing your team’s inputs — headcount and investment planning data, strategic priorities, and business cases for new growth initiatives. You won’t own the OP process end-to-end, but you’ll ensure your team’s contributions are accurate, timely, and aligned with UKGI PS requirements.
Manage budgets. You’ll own the day-to-day management of Central Government, Defence & National Security’s budgets, tracking spend, ensuring alignment with priorities, and flagging risks or underspend to leadership.
Bring AI and automation into how we operate. Collaborating across the organisation, you’ll find every manual, inefficient process in the business rhythm and figure out how AI agents and automation can do it better, from action tracking to data synthesis to review preparation. You’ll prototype solutions and champion adoption within the Central Government, Defence & National Security teams.
Support Central Government, Defence & National Security engagement and events. You’ll coordinate logistics and content for team engagement events, leadership offsites, customer showcases, and other forums that feed into the UKGI PS-wide operating rhythm.
Be the connective tissue for the teams. You’ll keep all the teams aligned with the wider UKGI PS organisation by managing information flow across the leadership team, field sales operations, finance, and specialist functions. When something falls between the cracks, you’ll catch it. When leaders need context they don’t have, you’ll provide it. You’ll drive cross-functional alignment within the Central Government, Defence & National Security business, including with commercial, partner, and specialist functions to ensure strategic initiatives are coordinated and mutually reinforcing.
A day in the life
Your morning might start by reviewing the output of an AI agent you deployed last week, one that now automatically tracks and chases actions from various Central Government, Defence & National Security leadership meetings that used to take hours of manual follow-up. You’ll check what it caught overnight, tweak the workflow, and think about where to apply the same approach next.

By mid-morning, you’re preparing team inputs for a quarterly business review, pulling together performance data, surfacing the
top 5 things that the leadership team needs to debate, and ensuring everything meets UKGI PS standards and deadlines. You’re not just assembling documents; you’re shaping the conversation.
After lunch, you might be in a governance review, walking through strategic commitments and flagging where things are ahead, on, or off-track. Then you’re switching gears to pull together your team’s inputs for the operating plan, making sure the numbers are accurate and the narrative is tight before Finance and Business Ops teams need them.
No two days look the same. Some days you’ll be deep in data, building the insight that drives a critical decision. Others you’ll be implementing a measurement framework or scoping an automation that could save the team hours every week. You might be coordinating an all-team event or preparing for a customer showcase. Occasionally, you’ll find yourself pulled into something completely unexpected, like a fast-turnaround brief for senior leadership, or an opportunity to pilot a brand-new AI tool before anyone else.
The thread that ties it all together? You’re always asking: does the Central Government, Defence & National Security teams have what it needs to deliver and is it meeting the standards the wider organisation expects?
