Premium Support Business Development Manager, AWS Enterprise Support

AWS Applied AI Solutions (AAIS) is building toward a future where every business innovates with Amazon AI teammates. To get there, we build AI solutions that improve human capabilities and transform entire business functions. We create end-to-end products that surprise and delight out-of-the-box, making complex things easy and hard things possible, with no cloud experience required. We start with customers who embrace the future and build bridges to meet the rest where they are. We pursue ambitious opportunities with conviction, and we are looking for builders who share that mindset.

AWS Enterprise Support provides our customers with a one-on-one, fast-response support channel that is staffed 24/7/365 with experienced and technical support engineers; Enterprise support provides a designated technical account manager to the customer and provides entitlements such as architecture review, operations support to design, build, and operate cloud environments leveraging AWS best practices; and a designated Support Concierge for administrative and billing inquiries. Enterprise customers rely on Support when running their business critical workloads on the AWS platform, and our technical account managers and cloud support engineers are the primary daily touch-point for those customers. Customers include very large Enterprises, Public Sector companies, as well as fast growing businesses and Internet companies. Unlike most support organizations, AWS Support is a self-standing business with revenue and P&L responsibility and one of the fastest growing businesses within AWS.

As Premium Support BDM, you will be part of the Enterprise Support organization. You will support the Premium Support strategy and own driving the go-to-market (GTM) efforts for Support with the objective to increase adoption for paid support offerings amongst AWS customers while maintaining target margin performance and using Support to accelerate AWS platform adoption for the customers. You will engage our customers to understand why they need Premium Support solutions (or why not, e.g., Enterprise Support or Unified Operations), what are the pain points and obstacles in their current support offering. You will identify areas for sharpening our Support proposition (e.g., a differentiated offering value and return on investment vs. price) and design and execute controlled experiments driving commercial innovation. You will quantify the impact of Support in driving AWS platform adoption, estimate the ROI, and design and execute initiatives to help accelerate our customer cloud adoption journey. You will enable the sales team to drive the day-to-day interactions with prospects selling the Support value proposition in order to build long-term business opportunity. You will engage partners to develop and pilot new Support offerings via the partner ecosystem.

The ideal candidate will possess a keen business sense and exceptional analytical skills, is able to articulate and communicate a clear value proposition across customers, partners, and within the AWS organization, and is comfortable working across internal functions and geographies. The candidate will be naturally curious, going beyond the obvious to discover unexpected insights and translate those into tangible business value.
