Tokyo Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Would you like to lead segment sales, strategy, planning and go-to-market for startup businesses at AWS? Do you have both technology depth and breadth, and business savvy to influence senior execs, technologists, product leaders, and customer CxOs? Do you enjoy leading sales teams, and developing/maturing mechanisms to execute and deliver on ambitious business plans? Do you thrive in taking ambiguous ideas, opportunities, or problems and turning them into data-driven plans and initiatives to meaningfully impact customers?


Trusted by more startups around the world, AWS makes the power of cloud computing accessible for all by giving founders everywhere access to the same technology that powers the world's largest companies.

With nearly 20 years of experience gained from supporting hundreds of thousands of startups that have come before, we help founders prove that their world-changing ideas are possible, at any stage of growth or level of funding.

This is why more startups, and over 80% of unicorns, build on AWS.


As the Area Sales Leader for our Startup businesses, you will have an exciting opportunity to shape the strategy to help Startup businesses adopt and transform using the AWS Platform.

Your responsibilities will include driving revenue growth, adoption and market segment penetration.

The ideal candidate will possess a sales management background with engagements at the CxO level, manage a sales pipeline, and lead sales efforts that will include leading AWS Sales Representatives.

Additional responsibilities include developing/maturing cross-functional go-to-market execution mechanisms, partnering with functional teams (BD, Marketing, Partner, Solutions Architecture, Sales Enablement, Sales Operations, Services/Product, etc.) to measure and monitor progress against the business plan, publishing segment business performance metrics, identifying signals/gaps/opportunities and developing well researched data driven narrative recommendations for new initiatives and investments, or improving/retiring existing mechanisms.

Key job responsibilities

Drive revenue growth and key input metrics for AWS, meeting or exceeding revenue targets, opportunity creation, acquisition and growth goals
Lead annual business and go-to-market planning for the Startup business segment, including developing mature cross-functional engagement mechanisms for planning and execution
Engage with customers to educate, accelerate and grow their use of the AWS cloud to support their business outcomes
Develop and mature mechanisms to deeply understand local Startup customer needs, gaps, and opportunities
Incubate new strategic initiatives, and hire teams/resources to transition and scale incubation initiatives

A day in the life


You must be comfortable with leading and influencing cross functional global teams in dynamic organizations as most of your responsibilities will have interdependencies with other teams within AWS.


The right candidate will have successful experience in growth-oriented sales leadership roles in the technology sector with focus on Startup businesses.

You will have deep cloud IT domain expertise, and deeply appreciate how AWS can help Startup businesses adopt AWS for their IT and business.

You will need a strong sales and analytical acumen, synthesis, structuring, and problem-solving skills to translate ambiguous and often incomplete information into action plans and insights.

You will need a strong bias for 'invention' and 'simplification', demonstrated experience in cross-functional stakeholder management and alignment, solid program management skills, a customer-obsessed and collaborative approach, and strong data and metrics bias.

You will also need passion for narrative style writing for business plans and programmatic initiatives.
