NewBe an early applicantAmazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a world-class sales leader to manage our global customer relationship with one of the largest and most strategic banking institutions in the world.

Combine an informed view of the market with a deep understanding of emerging technology trends — including AI/ML, generative AI, and data analytics — to support innovation across the segment
Develop innovative programs and drive international business growth across the account's global operations
Collaborate with internal teams including Solutions Architects, Customer Solutions Managers, Professional Services, Partner teams, and specialist overlays to deliver against customer goals
Negotiate and close high-value, multi-year commercial agreements (e.g., Enterprise Discount Programs, Strategic Collaboration Agreements)
Represent the voice of the customer internally to influence AWS product roadmap, programs, and investment priorities
Contribute to and invent mechanisms to operate the global business and broader business unit
Achieve annual revenue and multi-year business objectives
