Do you have the business savvy, technical background, and sales skills necessary to help position Amazon as the cloud provider of choice for our Application Modernization services? Amazon Web Services is looking for Specialized Sellers to help establish AWS Containers as the market leader in application modernization.

You will engage with our demand generation, segment sales, solutions architects, partner and marketing organizations to drive opportunities to closure. Your commitments will include quota accountability, driving platform adoption within Enterprise accounts, running programs and ensuring success at scale.

The ideal candidate will have both a sales and technical background that enables them to drive an engagement at the Executive level as well as with software developers and IT architects. The candidate should be a self-starter who is prepared to develop and execute against a territory coverage plan and consistently deliver on quarterly revenue targets. Teamwork, Account strategies, cross selling, solution selling, negotiation and closing are just a few of the critical skills required for success.

Enjoy working with Enterprise customers. The role of a Specialized Seller requires someone who simultaneously acts as a market maker, operator, and general manager for their own customer accounts. With a focus on customer outcomes, they must work to win new customers, grow existing customers, secure lighthouse customers, drive revenue for new services, and develop strategic partnerships.
