AWS Senior Account Executive Professional & Managed Services
Our client is an AWS Premier Tier Consulting Partner delivering Cloud Migration, AI/ML, and Application Development for startups and SMBs across North America and EMEA. They work hand in hand with AWS field teams, and Sales sits at the center of that partnership.
We're helping them hire a Senior Account Executive in the US. This is a full-time, permanent position directly with the client.
The Role:
This is a field role. You'll own the full sales cycle for AWS Professional and Managed Services, from the first discovery call to the signed deal. Pipeline comes from two directions: AWS sellers who trust you enough to bring you into their accounts, and your own outbound. Expect to spend real time in AWS offices, not just on calls.
What You'll Do:
Own deals end to end: discovery, solution shaping with Pre-Sales, proposal, pricing, negotiation, close
Build trust with AWS Account Executives and Partner Sales Managers in person, and turn it into co-sell opportunities
Run the co-sell motion with AWS field teams, from referral through close
Generate your own pipeline through cold calling, LinkedIn, and lead-gen platforms
Balance new logos with growing existing accounts
Keep the CRM accurate and your forecast honest
Work with PMO and delivery leads when an escalation puts a customer or AWS relationship at risk
Mentor junior sellers and help shape the sales playbook
What We're Looking For:
3+ years in sales at an AWS SI partner, selling Professional or Managed Services. Pure SaaS or product sales won't be a match
Direct experience with AWS Startup (SUP) and SMB segment teams
Existing relationships in the AWS field. You should be able to name the AEs and PSMs you'd call in your first week
Hands-on experience with ACE opportunity registration and the AO lifecycle
A consistent record of hitting or beating targets in AWS services
Based within 1 hour of an AWS hub in New York City, San Francisco, or Austin
Compensation & Benefits:
Base salary $135,000 to $150,000, depending on experience
OTE of roughly $350,000 to $400,000
Medical (choice of two PPO plans), dental, and vision
Health FSA
401(k) with potential company profit-sharing
Mental health and wellbeing support
