A day in the life You'll start each day focused on your customers - large enterprises navigating high‑stakes decisions about transforming their IT infrastructure. You'll diagnose why a deal is stuck from the customer's perspective, then coach partners on building business cases that solve the customer's actual problem, not just pitch technology. You'll join deal reviews armed with options so decisions happen fast, and qualify new opportunities by asking whether AWS can genuinely deliver what the customer needs.

When patterns emerge that slow customers down, you build mechanisms to remove that friction. About the team You'll join a small, globally distributed team that helps large enterprises move to AWS faster by making the deal itself a competitive advantage. We blend deal strategists, go‑to‑market specialists, solution architects, and specialist sales - all working across functions because complex problems don't get solved in silos.

Our culture is customer‑first, fast‑moving, and builder‑oriented: when we see friction slowing a customer's decision, we build mechanisms to fix it rather than escape and wait. You'll have visible impact, sharp collaborators, and the expectation to improve how we work every day.
