Trusted by more startups around the world, AWS makes the power of cloud computing accessible for all by giving founders everywhere access to the same technology that powers the world’s largest companies. With experience gained from supporting hundreds of thousands of startups that have come before, we help founders prove that their world-changing ideas are possible, at any stage of growth or level of funding. This is why more startups, and over 80% of unicorns, build on AWS.

As AWS continues to rapidly grow, we seek a Startup Account Manager to earn trust and help drive growth amongst a set of well-funded, high-potential startups.

Startups represent a critically important subset of customers to AWS. These companies have unique needs, technical considerations, sales cycles, and growth trajectories that distinguish them from traditional companies. These businesses require different engagement strategies and sales motions from sellers to effectively acquire, grow, and retain them on the AWS platform long-term.

The ideal candidate possesses strong sales acumen, knowledge of the startup ecosystem, and a passion for (and familiarity with) AI/ML. You will be working with startups building innovative solutions, so extensive collaboration with external contacts and internal teams will be key to build and execute on plans to meet and exceed sales quota. Your responsibilities will include driving revenue, crafting partnerships, accelerating innovation through service adoption, and ensuring these startups select AWS as their primary cloud provider.

You will align closely with counterparts in business development, marketing, solution architecture and partner teams to lead execution of coordinated go-to-market strategies and sales plays. You will also work closely with business development teams who are driving strategic support, global co-programming, and portfolio engagement to help drive top-of-funnel customer acquisition and accelerate seller cycles in the field.

Key job responsibilities

• Manage high growth existing customers
• Develop executive relationships and create expansion opportunities
• Drive revenue and market share in a defined territory or industry vertical
• Drive migration of workloads from other clouds/platforms
• Accelerate customer adoption through well-developed sales engagements and successful GTM Strategy
• Meet or exceed quarterly revenue and goal targets.
• Develop and execute against a comprehensive account/territory plan.
• Create & articulate compelling value propositions around AWS services.
• Accelerate customer adoption by engaging Founders, CxO, Board of Directors and VC influencers
• Work with partners to extend reach & drive adoption.
• Develop long-term strategic relationships with key accounts.
