Business Development Mgr, T&C, Training & Certification

To meet the growing demand for AWS Cloud and Gen-AI Training across the Americas region, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people. If you have a passion for learning, can communicate highly technical concepts to audiences at different stages in the AWS journey, and have a proven track record in consultative selling to senior business executives, we'd like to speak with you.

This role requires the ability to effectively position training and enablement solutions that will help our enterprise customers achieve their digital transformation goals on AWS. You will work closely with C-suite and other senior decision-makers to understand their training requirements, develop tailored proposals, and drive the successful delivery of these programs.

Successful candidates will have a strong background in solution selling and business development, with expertise in:

- Consultative selling to senior-level stakeholders across various industries
- Conducting training needs assessments and crafting comprehensive training plans
- Presenting technical cloud and AI training solutions in a compelling, business-aligned manner
- Managing the full sales cycle, from lead generation to client satisfaction

This is a highly visible position with significant customer impact. You will be responsible for driving training adoption, increasing cloud consumption, and accelerating our customers' journey to the cloud and generative AI. This is your chance to work as a Business Development Manager in our Training & Certification team covering the Americas (Canada, North America, Latin America & PubSec).

AWS is seeking a Business Development Manager to help us maintain our leadership position as our customers’ preferred cloud platform. The role focuses on evangelizing and selling our Training and Certification services. This team, which you will lead and build daily operations of, is critical to helping our customers accelerate their adoption of AWS cloud services.

The ideal candidate will have clearly documented success in owning, defining, and executing programmatically against the needs and strategic priorities. Specifically experience with technical certification programs, authorized channel programs, and enterprise skill programs, which provide the right candidate the foundation for success. 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.
