Job description

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 unwavering 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.

As Indirect and Greenfield Leader, APJ, you will lead a team that will digitally modernize our AWS sales reps’ engagements with partners. You will build and execute Amazon mechanisms (which involves process and tools creation and implementation) to solve problems and increase partner engagement rates of AWS sales reps within the APJ Cloud Sales Center teams.

Your primary responsibilities are to create and continuously iterate the mechanisms you are assigned. You will have the exciting opportunity to work cross-functionally and cross-geographically to identify problems and gaps, collect and analyze data, generate insights, come up with solutions/mechanisms, and implement them.

You will work closely with internal stakeholders across different functions and levels to help in the ‘digital transformation’ of our AWS sales force. You will also work closely with our sales teams and the AWS partner ecosystem to remove blockers and deliver value to our customers.

A successful candidate is eager to learn and develop himself/herself, and is a driven self-starter with a deep interest in technology. He/she embraces the ambiguity of creating new mechanisms, designed to be eventually automated or handed over to other teams once the mechanisms are running well and have achieved their goals of solving the problem.

Who are we looking for?

We hire builders and are looking for people who enjoy problem solving and driving initiatives that can create huge impact for our customers and business.

Key job responsibilities

• Has strong project management and stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to lead and drive initiatives
• Is creative and able to innovate and simplify process
• Is curious to learn and comfortable with ambiguity
• Has good communications skills
• Is analytical and has strong financial/business acumen
• Has a “can-do” spirit with a strong sense of ownership to execute end-to-end projects
• Has outstanding interpersonal skills and is able to earn trust and influence others
• Is independent and comfortable with navigating ambiguity
• Is highly organized and can multi-task and prioritize competing stakeholder requests
• Uses a customer-centric approach to solve problems
• Thrives in a lean, fast-paced, entrepreneurial, multi-cultural environment
• Has a passion for AWS and driving cloud computing adoption
