    Job Description

    Amazon Web Services (AWS) Worldwide Public Sector (WWPS) Shared Services Org (SSO) is seeking a Sales Strategy & Execution Lead to drive strategic programs and cross-organizational initiatives across our public sector sales portfolio. This role works across Strategic Pursuits, Greenfield Sales, and Business Contracts - owning and delivering programs that connect the pillars, building scalable processes that improve how the org operates, and leveraging data to drive decisions that accelerate growth.

    As a Sales Strategy & Execution Lead, you will independently own cross-SSO projects from scoping through delivery, develop go-to-market strategies, build operational mechanisms, and create the analytics infrastructure that keeps leadership informed. You will work with stakeholders across all three SSO pillars to drive alignment, remove blockers, and ensure initiatives land on time and with measurable impact. The ideal candidate combines strategic thinking with strong program management discipline, thrives in ambiguous environments, and has a proven track record of building and delivering programs from the ground up across multiple business lines.

    This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen.

    Key job responsibilities

    Cross-SSO Program Ownership & Delivery

    • Own and deliver cross-SSO projects and initiatives end-to-end - from scoping the problem, defining the approach, gaining stakeholder buy-in, through execution and measurement.
    • Drive programs that span Strategic Pursuits, Greenfield Sales, and Business Contracts - managing scope, timelines, dependencies, and cross-functional coordination.
    • Build scalable, repeatable processes and operational mechanisms (MBRs, QBRs, operational reviews, reporting cadences) that improve consistency across the organization.
    • Manage multiple concurrent workstreams, proactively identifying risks and removing blockers to ensure on-time delivery.
    • Develop detailed project plans, maintain comprehensive documentation, and communicate progress and outcomes to stakeholders.

    Strategy Development & Planning

    • Develop and implement sales/business development strategies, go-to-market plans, and growth initiatives that support all SSO pillars.
    • Analyze business trends, market demand, and emerging needs across Strategic Pursuits, Greenfield Sales, and Business Contracts to identify opportunities for growth and operational improvement.
    • Translate leadership priorities into actionable plans with clear milestones, owners, and success metrics.
    • Design sales acceleration frameworks and enabling mechanisms that integrate revenue growth plans with operational execution.

    Business Performance & Analytics

    • Build dashboards, analytics frameworks, and automated reporting solutions that provide visibility into cross-SSO performance.
    • Source, analyze, and synthesize quantitative and qualitative data from multiple business units; report on pipeline metrics, business forecasts, and initiative effectiveness.
    • Provide fact-based insights into variances and trends; quantify business impact of initiatives to inform prioritization decisions.

    Stakeholder Management & Collaboration

    • Work with stakeholders across Strategic Pursuits, Greenfield, and Business Contracts to drive alignment on cross-cutting initiatives.
    • Present strategies, progress updates, and business cases to senior leadership to secure support and investment.
    • Influence without authority across teams with competing priorities; build credibility and trust through consistent delivery.
    • Coordinate with cross-functional partners (finance, HR, enablement, central ops) to ensure programs are resourced and unblocked.

    About Company

    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.
