Job description

GenAI Senior Account Manager, AWS Startups

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 and unmatched technology. 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.

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 nearly 20 years of 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.

Are you interested in helping to shape the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI)? AI is transforming entire industries and fundamentally changing the way we live and work. AWS is the place where organizations can build AI technology securely, responsibly, and with confidence. AWS is positioned at the forefront of GenAI with the deepest set of services and features as the leader in cloud.

As a Senior Account Manager for Startups at Amazon Web Services (AWS), you will be the strategic lead responsible for driving cloud adoption within a group of stellar startups at the forefront of GenAI.

AWS offers a complete set of cloud services that enable all companies, from startups to enterprises, to run virtually everything in the cloud, including application development, model training, big data analytics, and AI/ML platforms.

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. 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.

The ideal candidate possesses a strong sales acumen, knowledge of the startup ecosystem, a passion for (and familiarity with) GenAI trends. You will be working with startups building cutting edge AI and ML solutions, so extensive collaboration with external contacts and internal teams will be key to build and execute on plans to 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.

Candidates will be working with startups building cutting edge solutions and should have a good understanding of GenAI, AI/ML technologies and how startups are using them to enhance services and processes for end customers. The ideal candidate will have a strong entrepreneurial spirit who is prepared to work in a fast-paced, often ambiguous environment, execute against ambitious goals, and consistently embrace the Amazon Culture.

Key job responsibilities

• Ensure customer success with early, mid and late-stage startups
• Drive revenue and market share in a defined territory or industry vertical
• Accelerate customer adoption through well-developed sales engagements and successful GTM Strategy
• Meet or exceed quarterly revenue and goal targets

• Work with partners to extend reach & drive adoption
• Develop long-term strategic relationships with key accounts
• Successfully work in a large-scale environment, leading collaboration with AWS resources (Solution Architects, Business Development, Marketing, Partners, Support, and Service teams) to drive customer solution adoption at scale.
• Expect moderate travel
