Description

This role will focus on owning worldwide programs and time-bound initiatives that help AWS sales and technical teams create and progress generative AI sales opportunities with their customers. The mission of the Sales Acceleration Team in the AWS GenAI GTM organization is to create and leverage mechanisms that increase the velocity of generative AI sales, from top-of-funnel lead-generation to launching and scaling customers’ generative AI productions. The team is part of a larger organization in AWS that is comprised of business development, solutions architecture, and program management professionals who execute on the company’s go-to-market generative AI strategy for all of AWS.

Expectations for this role include proposing and managing worldwide initiatives in sales enablement, proof-of-concept (POC) funding, event/executive engagements, and sales-content management. We expect the person in this role to work with AWS employees from many departments and geographies/time zones, requiring them to communicate clearly and effectively through Amazon business narratives/writing, weekly updates, and leveraging data to report the status of their projects and unlock business insights for leaders. The role will interface with AWS sales, technical, finance, enablement, and business development leaders, giving this role exciting visibility and scope to Think Big and Invent & Simplify for internal and external customers. Given generative AI is a new and evolving domain, this role will deal with ambiguity, regular stakeholder alignment and feedback, process changes, and prioritization.

Conducting meetings with a partner team to review your 5-page document to align on their deliverables of enablement assets and the overall strategy. Hosting a meeting for GTM Service Directors to review enablement outcomes with sales and technical field leaders, taking note of action items and distributing these after the meeting and tracking them in a spreadsheet with ongoing follow-up.
