Business Strategy Advisor, Healthcare – Amazon Web Services – Toronto, ON

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a sharp, strategic thinker to step into a high-impact role at the intersection of healthcare and public sector cloud technology. Based in Toronto, Ontario, this Business Strategy Advisor position sits within the Canada Public Sector team and serves as the operational and strategic backbone to the Healthcare & Alliance Leader. If you’re someone who thrives on turning complex business challenges into clear, executable plans — this role was built for you.

Working at AWS Canada, you’ll be deeply embedded in both the healthcare sales and public sector partner sales business units, shaping strategy, driving rhythm-of-business activities, synthesizing cross-functional insights, and representing leadership across the organization. This isn’t a supporting role — it’s a force-multiplier position where your fingerprints will be on the decisions that move the business forward.

About the Role: Business Strategy Advisor, Healthcare

As a Business Strategy Advisor, you’ll serve as a trusted extension of the Healthcare and Public Sector Alliance Leader, translating strategic priorities into actionable plans and ensuring follow-through at every level. From designing the business operating cadence to authoring executive-ready narratives and conducting market assessments, your work will span a broad range of high-stakes activities across two distinct teams.

You’ll lead and influence without direct authority — collaborating with account teams, partners, marketing, finance, and global stakeholders to drive cross-functional initiatives from concept through to execution. Whether you’re modeling business scenarios, managing pipeline reviews, or navigating organizational ambiguity, you’ll be expected to maintain momentum and deliver clear outcomes. This role demands someone equally comfortable in the boardroom and deep in the data.

Benefits and Salary

This position offers a base salary range of $91,600 to $153,100 CAD annually for the Toronto location, with total compensation potentially including sign-on payments and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). Amazon also provides a comprehensive benefits package that includes health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, and basic life & AD&D), a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), a Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (DPSP), paid time off, and additional resources to support health and well-being. Final compensation will be based on experience, qualifications, and location.

Responsibilities

In this role, your day-to-day will blend strategic planning, executive communication, and cross-functional program management. You’ll be the connective tissue between leadership’s vision and on-the-ground execution — ensuring that priorities are clearly understood, tracked, and delivered across the organization.

• Strategic Partnership: Act as a trusted advisor and extension of the business leader — translating priorities into actionable plans and representing leadership in key meetings and cross-functional forums
• Operating Rhythm: Design and run the business cadence including leadership meetings, pipeline reviews, QBRs, planning cycles, and executive updates
• OKR/KPI Management: Define and track objectives and key results, monitor business trends, and ensure discussions produce clear decisions and accountability
• Cross-Functional Influence: Lead high-impact initiatives across account teams, partners, specialists, marketing, finance, and support without direct authority
• Global Coordination: Collaborate with global stakeholders to coordinate go-to-market (GTM) motions and align organizational initiatives
• Strategy & Narratives: Author strategy papers, state-of-the-business narratives, and executive business updates that distill complex information into clear recommendations
• Market Analysis: Conduct business cases, market assessments, and scenario modelling to inform strategic decision-making

Requirements / Skills

The ideal candidate brings a blend of strategic thinking, business acumen, and communication excellence. AWS values professionals who can operate with ambiguity, influence without authority, and consistently deliver in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. Both foundational qualifications and asset criteria are outlined below.

• 5+ years of experience in management consulting, strategy, technology, venture capital, or a related field
• Insight-to-strategy conversion: Proven ability to translate data and insights into clear, logically communicated written strategies and recommendations
• Cross-functional collaboration: Demonstrated experience working across teams and influencing stakeholders without direct reporting authority
• Financial acumen: Experience applying KPIs to analyses and building financial or operational reports that drive business decisions
• Project coordination: Ability to manage competing priorities, coordinate cross-functional inputs, and meet deadlines consistently
• Problem solving: Track record of handling ambiguous or undefined challenges through creative, structured problem-solving
• MBA or advanced degree is considered a strong asset
• Knowledge of AWS or cloud computing and experience in the public sector are preferred
• CRM proficiency: Experience with Salesforce or similar pipeline management tools is an asset
