About Austin Willis

I am currently an Analyst Relations Specialist with AWS in Austin, Texas. As an AR Specialist, I am dedicated to shaping the narrative around Industry Analyst's evaluations of AWS and our technology offerings. My role allows me to bridge the gap between AWS's innovative solutions and the insights of key analysts who influence market perceptions and decisions. With a strong background in communications and a deep understanding of the technology landscape, I am passionate about translating complex technical concepts into clear, compelling stories that resonate both externally with the analysts, and also internally with key stakeholders.Prior to my career in Analyst Relations, I worked full-time as a Real Estate agent based out of Dripping Springs, Texas and serve the Greater Austin area assisting buyers and sellers accomplish their Real Estate goals. Customer service was my top priority and I strived to care for each one of my clients transactions as though it were my own. I was in the industry since early in 2020. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor's degree in Geography and a minor in Business. I walked on to the football team at UT and I learned how to work together in both large and small groups, and how to solve problems. After earning several honor roll awards, I achieved my biggest academic accomplishment in my final season on the team by making Academic All-Big 12 Second Team. I have recently completed the Certified Industry Analyst Relations Professional (CIARP) exam through The Knowledge Capital Group's Analyst Relations Academy. Prior to Real Estate, I worked as a Back Office Administrator at Cain Electrical Supply out of Carlsbad, New Mexico. Here I acted as sort of a Swiss-Army knife participating in floor sales and invoice entry to managing the day-to-day back office tasks to keep the office running smoothly. I also took on data management and financial analytics for some of our larger Oil & Gas customers in order to track and better manage their spending on large projects. My first job out of college was my work as a Business Integrity Analyst at Pro Unlimited. It was here that I learned how a full-time office functions and was given several small leadership roles where I applied the skills that I learned during my studies and time in athletics. Finding a way to connect skills from different aspects of my journey through professional life has been extremely rewarding and satisfying.Competencies: CIARP, MS Excel, Power BI, Word, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, Social Media Management

  • Coffman Real Estate
    Real Estate Sales Agent | Sales | Customer Service
    Coffman Real Estate Apr 2020 - Aug 2024
    Dripping Springs, Texas, United States
    Working as a full-time Real Estate Agent in Austin, Texas and the surrounding areas. I have facilitated transactions ranging from multi-million dollar commercial deals, to temporary leases and just about everything in between. The Real Estate market over these last few years has gone from an ordinary balanced market, to a historically seller-favored market and back to one of the slowest "buyer's" markets in the past decade or so. Through these radical changes, I have had to think on my feet and solve seemingly insurmountable problems both while keeping great communication with all parties involved. This has lead to some early mornings and late nights all to ensure these requirements were met. I have learned how to engage with a multitude of personalities, and how to display confidence for my clients through a difficult time in their lives. It has not come without its fair share of difficulties of course. With any "sales" jobs that include cold-calling and negotiation, I have had numerous interactions that end with being hung up on and doors closed on me. Through this, I have learned to remain un-emotional and counterintuitively steadfast in times where I have felt defeated. I have made incredible connections from all across the World and have learned valuable skills along the way.
  • Cain Electrical Supply Corp
    Back Office Administrator | Customer Financial Analyst | Sales | Customer Service
    Cain Electrical Supply Corp Jun 2019 - Apr 2020
    Carlsbad, New Mexico, United States
    I moved to Carlsbad, New Mexico immediately following my previous employment at Pro Unlimited where I began as a floor sales rep, tasked with meeting with customers and supplying them with the materials needed for their requests. Shortly after I began work, I took lead on a few projects for our clients that included data and financial analytics. This took me to several meetings with executives with some of our largest customers. I was essential to several meetings and presentations and it was here that I learned how a higher-level cooperate management office facilitates. I took the lead in key moments during these meetings pertaining to financial tendencies of our clients with us. I then took over administrative roles for our own internal Back Office. I managed the logging of invoices, inventory and financial analytics for the company. I saw myself becoming sort of a Swiss-Army knife to the team and to this day I don't think my title as Back Office Administrator or Floor Sales accurately describe my time here.
  • Pro Unlimited
    Business Integrity Analyst - Facebook | Ms Excel
    Pro Unlimited Jun 2018 - Jun 2019
    As my first full-time job out of college, it was here where I learned how to function in a "traditional" workplace. I was a Business Integrity Analyst where I evaluated policy guidelines for Facebook, in order to manage advertisements on their platform. This required rigorous studying and familiarization with Facebook’s advertisement policies. Discerning ambiguous verbiage on hundreds of advertisements per day, it was imperative that we had regular meetings both in office and virtually. I soon lead several of these policy dispute meetings. Along with this, I also trained a new group of employees. As with any group, they ranged widely in their personalities and previous experience so I conducted several group and individual training sessions along with monitoring their workflows during our training sessions. I was also tasked with overflow work from my manager that included compiling and analyzing data through Microsoft Excel, while still meeting my daily quota and workflow. It was at this job that I learned several valuable skills that I would take with me to my future jobs and personal life. It was also here that I realized my unique skill for taking on a multitude of roles within a company at the same time. I compartmentalized and managed my time in a way that allowed me to be trusted by my managers and employees to wear several "hats" at any one time.
