Job description

from Amazon careers
The AWS Enterprise Sales Team is responsible for serving the needs of medium to large enterprise customers. We have begun our journey in industry some time ago and we are making great progress in Automotive & Manufacturing. We take pride in leading customers through an accelerated and innovative cloud journey and creating long-term business relationships of value and trust. As part of the AWS Sales team, you will have the opportunity to work alongside a motivated team that values and encourages diversified perspectives and ideas to best equip customers with the most innovative and comprehensive solutions.

As an Enterprise Sales Representative, you will drive digital transformation through meaningful engagement with C-level executives, IT leaders, architects, developers, and various lines of businesses of your customers. In this role, you will represent the entire portfolio of AWS products and services across the strategic accounts you manage within the Enterprise customer market segment. With AWS, our customers benefit from the fastest pace of innovation, the broadest and deepest functionality, the most secure computing environment, and the most proven operational expertise.



Key job responsibilities
Our team is working with some of the world's best Automotive & Manufacturing customers in NA. They are in the midst transforming their business to modernize and migrate to the cloud to benefit from data, AI and the velocity and agility of the cloud. You will be at a pivotal moment in their history and AWS's success.
