Description

Would you like to be part of a team focused on increasing adoption of Amazon Web Services by German startups? Do you have a passion for generating new business? Do you have the technical background necessary to help establish Amazon as a key technology platform provider?

Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a complete set of cloud services that enable all companies, from startups to enterprises, to run virtually everything in the cloud, including mobile applications, big data analytics, AI/ML platforms, and microservices/serverless infrastructures. Startups, which are now primarily born-in-the-cloud, represent a critically important and growing subset of customers to AWS. Startups have unique needs, priorities, and growth trajectories that distinguish them from traditional businesses and require different engagement strategies and sales motions from sellers to effectively acquire, grow, and retain them long-term on the AWS platform. As a Startup Account Executive, you will help drive the growth of your customers, servicing their unique needs, engaging with Founders, CxOs, Board of Directors and VC influencers, and teaming with business development, marketing, solution architecture and partner teams to lead execution of coordinated go-to-market strategies. AWS Global Sales drives adoption of the AWS cloud worldwide, enabling customers of all sizes to innovate and expand in the cloud. Our team empowers every customer to grow by providing tailored service, unmatched technology, and consistent support. We dive deep to understand each customer’s unique challenges, then craft innovative solutions that accelerate their success. This customer-first approach is how we built the world’s most adopted cloud. Join us and help us grow.

You will be at the heart of latest trends like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), serverless and IoT, helping your customers to leverage state-of-the-art technologies on AWS to innovate and become the next disrupters, like today’s AirBnB, Slack, DoorDash, and Lyft.

Responsibilities

• Ensure customer satisfaction.
• Drive revenue and market share in a defined territory or industry vertical.
• Meet or exceed revenue and goal targets.
• Develop and execute a comprehensive account/territory plan to manage and grow numerous accounts concurrently.
