    Job Description

    AWS Department of War is seeking a Senior Account Executive to manage strategic relationships with U.S. Army tactical and expeditionary organizations, with primary focus on XVIII Airborne Corps and U.S. Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF). This role requires someone who can think strategically about how cloud computing, edge infrastructure, and AI/ML can directly impact the warfighter - from garrison planning environments to forward-deployed tactical operations.

    The ideal candidate will build executive-level relationships with senior military leaders, develop account strategies aligned to Army modernization priorities, and drive AWS adoption across complex mission environments spanning multiple geographic combatant commands. This position requires both CONUS and OCONUS travel to military installations in the United States and Europe.

    This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and obtain and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance.

    Key job responsibilities

    Serve as the primary Account Executive for U.S. Army tactical and expeditionary accounts, with dedicated focus on XVIII Airborne Corps, V Corps, and U.S. Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF)

    Build and maintain executive-level relationships with Generals, General Officers, senior G-staff (G3, G6), and civilian decision-makers across assigned accounts

    Develop and execute strategic account plans that position AWS cloud services to enhance warfighter readiness, lethality, and operational agility

    Think strategically about how cloud computing, edge infrastructure, and AI/ML capabilities can transform Army operations in contested and austere environments

    Drive revenue growth by identifying, developing, and closing opportunities across commercial cloud, tactical edge, and emerging mission use cases

    Navigate complex DoW acquisition processes including OTAs, agile acquisition pathways, and coordination with the Enterprise Cloud Management Agency (ECMA)

    Orchestrate cross-functional AWS teams - Solutions Architects, Professional Services, Partners, and Government Regions - to deliver integrated solutions aligned to Army modernization priorities and create new capabilities for the warfighter

    Translate operational requirements from the field into AWS product and service roadmap inputs, serving as the voice of the tactical customer internally

    Coordinate with defense industry partners to develop joint solutions that address Army modernization priorities

    About Company

So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
