Jobbeschreibung

Amazon Connect is one of the fastest growing services in the history of AWS and the leader in Agentic CX solutions. What began as an AI-powered cloud contact center has grown into a family of applications that extends across the customer and employee lifecycle: Connect Customer, which delivers bar-raising service experiences for customers and agents; Connect Talent, which applies that same intelligence to high-volume hiring, helping organisations screen, assess, and onboard talent at scale; and Connect Health, which brings secure, compliant, AI-powered engagement to healthcare and patient engagement. Together they enable companies to unlock a rapid pace of innovation across every interaction. With a robust and ever-growing product roadmap spanning all three applications, Connect Sales Specialists are equipped to position the impact drivers of the full Connect portfolio to business stakeholders. This family of offerings was built in direct response to customer feedback and seeks to address daily pain points and deliver exceptional experiences whether serving customers, hiring at volume, or engaging patients. Amazon Connect offers a compelling alternative when customers are faced with multiple components, channels, and vendors; managing long-term commitments and very complex pricing models; and scaling based on the specific needs of their businesses across customer service, high-volume hiring, and healthcare patient engagement. The ideal candidate has enterprise sales experience in related areas (e.g., customer experience management, contact center, talent acquisition / high-volume hiring, or healthcare technology), is a self-starter, and is willing to operate both tactically and strategically across a multi-application portfolio. As a key team member in this fast-growing space, sellers have the opportunity to shape and develop the future of a service category that drives significant impact on our customers' business spanning how they serve their customers, hire their people, and care for their patients.
