Sr. Sales Specialist, Analytics, Aerospace And Satellite, Dod & A&S Specialty Sales

Amazon Web Services Technical Sales Representative

Do the words Aerospace and Satellite get your energized? Do you love implementing innovative cloud computing solutions and solving technical problems? Would you like to do this using the latest cloud computing technologies? Do you have a knack for helping these companies understand the data foundation journey, and the consultative and leadership skills to launch a project on a trajectory to success? Amazon Web Services is seeking a veteran enterprise technical sales representative to deliver value for customers via AWS's analytics solutions.

As a sales specialist for this fast growing, exciting space you will have the opportunity to help drive the growth and shape the future of emerging technologies that will have an important impact on our customers' technical strategy, business goals, and their bottom line. You will work backwards from the customer's desired outcomes to discover, define, quantify, and build a plan to help customers achieve these desired outcomes by partnering with AWS. You will educate customers on "art of the possible" success stories and AWS enablers including our data warehousing (Amazon Redshift), data lake (Amazon Lake Formation), BigData processing (Amazon EMR), search (Amazon Open Search Service), ETL (Amazon Glue), streaming (Amazon Kinesis and Amazon Managed Kafka), and visualization and serverless query (Amazon Quicksight and Athena) solutions. Then you will work with a specialized solution architect to craft a solution spanning these solutions as well as selected partner products and manage the sales process including evaluation, pricing, objection handling, navigating competitive pressures, proofs of concept and construction of a supporting business case.

The ideal candidate will possess a proven track record and background that enables them to lead a sales effort that will include teaming with AWS core sales representatives, solutions architects, product management, professional services and partners. The successful candidate will also possess a business background that enables them to drive an engagement and interact with business personas at the CxO/VP level. The successful candidate should also have a technical understanding that enables them to easily interact with developers and technical architects. They should also have a demonstrated ability to think strategically and analytically about business, product, and technical challenges, with the ability to build and convey compelling value propositions and work cross-organizationally to build consensus.
