Do you love building new strategic and data-driven businesses? Join the Worldwide Specialist Organization (WWSO) Serverless team as a Business Development Specialist!

The Worldwide Specialist Organization (WWSO) is part of AWS Sales, Marketing, and Global Services (SMGS), which is responsible for driving revenue, adoption, and growth from the largest and fastest growing small- and mid-market accounts to enterprise-level customers. We work backwards from our customer’s most complex and business critical problems to build and execute go-to-market plans that turn AWS ideas into multi-billion-dollar businesses. As part of WWSO, you'll provide expertise across the entire life cycle of an AWS customer initiative, from developing ideas for new services to accelerating the adoption of established businesses. We pride ourselves on thinking big, delivering exceptional results for our customers, and working across AWS as #OneTeam.

As a Serverless Specialist, you will support customers building cutting edge, modern applications on AWS. You will develop and execute go-to-market strategies for AWS Serverless services like AWS Lambda, Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate, Amazon EventBridge, AWS Step Functions, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon SNS, and Amazon SQS.

Execute the strategic business development plan while working with key internal stakeholders (e.g. sales teams, service teams, legal, support, etc.).

2. Strategic business development - Focus on complex deals and develop long-term strategic partnerships in support of our key markets.

3. Work with customers and partners building on the cutting edge. Build a strong pipeline of customers who are working in key areas of the market or building new and interesting solutions. Work with these customers to become "lighthouse wins" of success.
