Startup Account Manager, AGS - Startup - EMEA - Account Managers - Israel

Description

As a Startup Account Manager, you will help support the growth of your startup customers, servicing their unique needs, engaging with Founders, CxOs, Board of Directors and VC influencers, and teaming with business development, marketing, solution architecture and partner teams to help the execution of coordinated go-to-market strategies.

Startups, which are now primarily born-in-the-cloud, represent a critically important and growing subset of customers to AWS. Startups have unique needs, priorities, and growth trajectories that distinguish them from traditional businesses and require different engagement strategies and sales motions from sellers to effectively acquire, grow, and retain them long-term on the AWS platform.

In this role, you will also establish Amazon Web Services as the key cloud technology provider across the companies you manage, promoting the entire AWS products and services portfolio to Startups Customers. You will be at the heart of latest trends like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), serverless and IoT, helping your customers to leverage state-of-the-art technologies on AWS to innovate and become the next disrupters, like today’s AirBnB, Slack, DoorDash, and Lyft.

A day in the life

The team collaborates internally during daily syncs, where ideas are shared, and discussions revolve around driving new opportunities and mutual learning. Additionally, in the EMEA region, there is an emphasis on dedicating a day each month to focus on individual wellbeing.
