Are you ready to transform how retailers do business? We're looking for a Principal Enterprise Account Manager to join a team driving adoption of Amazon Web Services among the world's largest Retail eCommerce companies. In this role, you'll help shape the future of globally recognizable brands — driving revenue, adoption, and market penetration across strategic enterprise accounts.

The ideal candidate combines a sales and technical background with the ability to serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders. You'll engage at the CXO level as well as with software developers and IT architects, leading a cross-functional team that spans partners, professional services, and training/certification.

You'll develop and execute a territory strategy while consistently delivering on quarterly revenue targets.

If you bring business savvy, technical depth, and a passion for the intersection of Retail and Technology, we'd love to hear from you.

• Accelerate customer adoption through AWS programs, professional services, and the partner ecosystem
• Maintain a robust and accurate sales pipeline
• Facilitate cross-functional collaboration, bringing in Solutions Architects, Specialists, and Partners as needed
• Manage contract negotiations and multi-year agreements
