Can you lead a team to evangelize these benefits and many more to both internal and external customers? If so, this role might be an amazing growth opportunity for you.

AWS is seeking a Business Development Manager to help us maintain our leadership position as our customers’ preferred cloud platform.

They should be familiar with customer challenges related to cloud adoption, and have experience helping customers overcome those challenges. They should deeply understand the business benefits of cloud computing compared to client owned/managed on-premise data center resources. They can clearly demonstrate through their career that they have built deep customer trust and delivered big results by helping create and execute long-term transformational training programs. They will be willing to operate both tactically, but can quickly zoom out to lead the organization with big, strategic thinking. They will have strong business acumen and regularly demonstrate to senior leadership their operational rigor. This candidate will have the opportunity to help drive the growth and shape the future of our Training and Certification services. Therefore, experience influencing product roadmaps will be important.

To be successful in this role, this candidate will think strategically and analytically about the business, product, and rollout, and build and convey compelling enterprise skill, certification, training partner and public training programs, while working cross-organizationally to build the right customer programs at the right time. Your strategy should result in the closure of AWS Training and Certification opportunities, drive above historic growth of certifications, enable channel partners to develop successful AWS training practices, and drive public interest in our offerings.
