We help millions of customers from small businesses and schools to hospitals, non-profits, government agencies, and large enterprises transform their procurement with cost savings, greater productivity, and purchasing analytics. Our customers benefit from business-tailored features including Business Prime, business-only pricing, approvals workflows, purchasing system integrations, and dedicated support.

Public Sector procurement across Europe is undergoing significant digital transformation, and you will be at the forefront. We are looking for a Senior Account Executive in the German Amazon Business Government team, a self-starter who is prepared to own and execute the German Public Sector Greenfield strategy for Government entities and drive growth with our most valuable Government customers in line with Amazon Business strategic direction.

As part of our Amazon Business team, you own a portfolio of German Government customers ensuring effective executive engagement with the most complex public customers, and achieving scale through partners, marketing and public policy. You are responsible for identifying high-potential customers and making Amazon Business a key solution for their procurement needs. You are responsible for building strong customer relationships, identifying and nurturing high-value opportunities and creating multi-year growth strategies that deliver measurable results. You are also helping to identify and win public tenders and frameworks and build partnerships with think tanks and decision makers. This role requires an individual with executive presence who can speak fluently about our business and investments across Germany and suitably represent our business with customer and partner executives. This leader will build strong C-level relationships, especially with procurement leaders.

Amazon Business is a fast-paced, evolving environment and the ideal candidate thrives under ambiguity, has strong business judgement and a desire to evolve our ways of thinking whilst implementing new programs and processes.

The ideal candidate will have experience in public procurement working with Government Ministries/Authorities/Agencies/Entities and a track record of success, including implementing programs that deliver incremental value and revenue to the business.

You will drive revenue growth by identifying customer needs, crafting tailored solutions, and navigating complex sales cycles from prospecting through strategic account expansion. Your work will directly influence long-term business outcomes, and you will have the opportunity to operate both strategically and tactically - building plans that deliver results today while positioning customers for success tomorrow. If you are a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is motivated by meaningful customer impact, we want to hear from you.
