AWS Professional Services is seeking a world-class sales professional to own, build, and

grow a portfolio of multi-million dollar professional services engagements with some of the

largest and most complex automotive and manufacturing enterprises in the world. This is a

high-visibility, quota-carrying role with full ownership of your book of business - you will

hunt, create, and close transformative deals that help customers reinvent their businesses

with cloud and Generative AI.

The automotive and manufacturing industries are in the midst of a once-in-a-generation

transformation. Generative AI, applied machine learning, and cloud-native architectures are

fundamentally reshaping how these companies design products, run factories, and deliver

customer experiences - and the pace is accelerating. You will be at the center of this

transformation, working directly with executives and technology leaders to define bold

visions and then close the deals that make them real.

As the ProServe Account Executive, you own the customer relationship and the revenue.

You are a core member of the sales account team alongside Account Managers, Solutions

Architects, and Partner teams - but you are the one who identifies the professional services

opportunity, shapes it, prices it, and closes it. You will develop and execute against

ambitious revenue targets, build a robust pipeline, and negotiate complex commercial

agreements. Following deal close, you stay connected to ensure delivery of agreed

Customer Business Outcomes (CBOs) and to identify the next wave of opportunities.

If you thrive on complexity, think in terms of multi-year transformation roadmaps, and are

energized by the autonomy to build a business within a business - we want to talk to you.

Key job responsibilities

  • Own your number - Achieve and exceed annual revenue, billable bookings, and pipeline targets. You carry quota and are accountable for results.
  • Hunt and create deals - Identify, shape, and close net-new professional services opportunities ($2M-$20M+) across large, complex automotive and manufacturing accounts. You don"t wait for leads - you create them.
  • Build transformation roadmaps - Develop long-term strategic customer transformation roadmaps that drive sustained, multi-year professional services revenue while delivering measurable business outcomes.
  • Execute complex commercial agreements - Structure and negotiate deal models including fixed-price SOWs, outcome-based engagements, delivery with partners, and multi-year commitments. Navigate procurement and drive deals to close.
  • Own executive relationships - Build deep, trust-based partnerships at C-suite and VP levels. Become the strategic advisor that customers call when they"re making their biggest technology bets.

A day in the life

You spend your time where it matters most - with customers and closing deals:

  • Meeting with automotive OEM and manufacturing executives to discover

transformation priorities (connected vehicles, smart factories, GenAI, supply chain

digitization) and shape opportunities

  • Building and defending proposals, negotiating SOWs, and driving complex deals

through multi-stakeholder approval processes

  • Collaborating with your account team to align ProServe pursuits with the broader

AWS relationship strategy

  • Working with AWS Partners (SIs, ISVs) to structure partner co-delivery models that

scale your reach

  • Supporting pipeline reviews, updating forecasts, and planning future quarter pursuit

strategies

  • Staying connected to in-flight engagements to ensure CBO delivery and identify

expansion opportunities

This is a customer-facing role requiring up to 50% travel.

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. 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.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

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
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.
