Trusted by more startups around the world, AWS makes the power of cloud computing accessible for all by giving founders everywhere access to the same technology that powers the world’s largest companies. With nearly 20 years of experience gained from supporting hundreds of thousands of startups that have come before, we help founders prove that their world-changing ideas are possible, at any stage of growth or level of funding. This is why more startups, and over 80% of unicorns, build on AWS.

AWS Sales, Marketing, and Global Services (SMGS) is responsible for driving revenue, adoption, and growth from the largest and fastest growing small- and mid-market accounts to enterprise-level customers including public sector. The AWS Global Support team interacts with leading companies and believes that world-class support is critical to customer success. AWS Support also partners with a global list of customers that are building mission-critical applications on top of AWS services.

Startups, which are now primarily born-in-the-cloud, represent a critically important and growing subset of customers to AWS. Startups have unique needs, priorities, and growth trajectories that distinguish them from traditional businesses and require different engagement strategies and sales motions from sellers to effectively acquire, grow, and retain them long-term on the AWS platform.

As a Startup Business Development Manager, you will help support the growth of your startup customers, servicing their unique needs, engaging with Founders, Cx Os, Board of Directors and VC influencers, and teaming with business development, marketing, solution architecture and partner teams to help the execution of coordinated go-to-market strategies.

In this role, you will also establish Amazon Web Services as the key cloud technology provider across the companies you manage, promoting the entire AWS products and services portfolio to Startups Customers. You will be at the heart of latest trends like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), serverless and Io T, helping your customers to leverage state-of-the-art technologies on AWS to innovate and become the next disrupters, like today’s Air Bn B, Slack, Door Dash, and Lyft.
