Description

Application deadline: Jun 9, 2026

As an Analytics sales specialist in this rapidly expanding field, you'll drive growth by helping Automotive and Manufacturing customers leverage emerging technologies that directly impact their AI and technical capabilities to create business success. You will work backwards from customer goals and you'll create strategic plans that align AWS solutions with their desired outcomes.

You will educate customers on 'art of the possible' success stories and AWS enablers including Amazon Redshift, a managed petabyte-scale data warehouse for fast SQL analytics; Amazon Athena, for serverless SQL queries directly on S3 data; Amazon EMR, a managed big data platform for Spark, Hive, and Presto workloads; AWS Glue, a managed ETL service for data preparation and transformation; AWS Lake Formation, for simplified data lake creation and management; AWS SageMaker Studio, a unified IDE for end-to-end machine learning workflows; Amazon Kinesis and MSK for real-time data streaming and processing; Amazon OpenSearch, a managed search and analytics engine; and Amazon QuickSight for embedded analytics and business intelligence dashboards.

You'll help customers understand how this analytics foundation enables them to build and deploy AI/ML solutions using Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, and other AWS AI services to drive business transformation across manufacturing operations, connected vehicles, supply chain optimization, and industrial IoT use cases. 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 combines strategic sales leadership with deep technical and business acumen. You will collaborate across AWS teams, including sales representatives, solutions architects, product managers, professional services, and partners to drive customer success. You should have experience engaging confidently with both C-suite executives and technical stakeholders, demonstrating the ability to translate complex technical solutions into clear business value. Your background should reflect success in building consensus across organizations, developing compelling value propositions, and navigating technical and business challenges. Experience in strategic analysis, enterprise sales, and technical solution development is essential, as you'll need to understand both the technical architecture and business implications of modern data and AI solutions.

About the Company

A

Amazon

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.
