You will work directly with customers on a daily basis to help them select the right AWS AI/ML technologies. Your work will define and drive the process that the organization follows to accelerate sales and partner engagements of the AWS AI/ML portfolio in your region and you will synthesize data and information gathered from these customers and partners into the AWS GTM strategy for machine learning to successfully commercialize the platform in the local market. This entails deriving succinct findings, developing strategic insights, and persuasively communicating those findings and perspectives from customer engagements to product and sales teams, including senior management.

You will be the outward face of AWS AI/ML for a specific sector of the United States and will define and execute the market development activities for AI/ML services including Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Transcribe, Amazon Rekognition, Amazon Comprehend, and the bulk of the AWS AI/ML portfolio.

You will also be helping AWS Sales become more comfortable with AI/ML use cases and technologies.

The ideal candidate will possess a business and machine learning or data analytics background, and will have a foundation of having directly driven customer engagements and interactions at the highest levels of large enterprises and technology partners. The candidate will have the technical depth and business experience to easily communicate the benefits of AI/ML services, platforms and frameworks in the AWS cloud to IT architects, engineering teams, and C-Level executives.

Additionally, the ideal candidate will have a demonstrated ability to think strategically and long-term in an ambiguous environment. The ideal candidate will be deeply familiar with complex legacy IT environments, managed enterprise IT infrastructure services, enterprise applications, and will have performed market analysis, deal negotiation and construction, field readiness, and business operations. Finally, the candidate will have a background that enables them to create scalable programs that apply holistic approaches to selling to enterprises and enterprise partners.
