About The Position

This is not your typical Sales Development role. Do you crave an environment
that is fast-paced and highly innovative? Do you aspire to continuously learn
and grow? Join a growing team at the market leader for cloud services and help
shape the future of the North America Sales organization!

Digital Acquisition is the first face of AWS. When a customer raises their hand
— whether through a Contact Sales form or a Live Chat on the AWS website — we
are the team that answers. We are the front door to one of the world's most
innovative technology companies and the first human connection in a customer's
AWS journey. We specifically seek out technically sharp sales professionals with
proven experience who are chosen to represent AWS at its most critical moment.

We are a deliberately small, high-caliber team. Every rep on Digital Acquisition
was selected for their ability to operate with speed, technical credibility and
commercial instinct — often all three at once. Our hiring bar is high because
the role demands it. You will be trusted to engage any customer, at any level,
on any workload, with no warm handoff and no safety net. The expectation is that
you make it look effortless.

As a Customer Acquisition Representative (CAR) on the Digital Acquisition team,
you will own the moment that matters most: when a prospect's interest is at its
peak. No two conversations are the same. In a single day you might help a
startup architect their first cloud environment, uncover a multi-million dollar
enterprise migration buried in a simple pricing question or go head-to-head with
a competing vendor in a live chat with a Fortune 500 CTO. You will need to think
fast, qualify quickly and know when to bring in the right technical and account
resources to accelerate a deal.

What sets this role apart is the combination of technical depth and sales acumen
required to succeed. You will need to hold credible conversations about
architecture, workload sizing, cloud economics and competitive positioning — not
as a solutions architect but as a trusted advisor who knows enough to recognize
opportunity when it's right in front of you and move on it immediately.

You will partner closely with Cloud Sales Reps, Solutions Architects and Field
Sales teams across all US and Canadian territories, operating as a trusted
qualifier who sets the foundation for deals that matter. The best people in this
role don't wait to be coached on what to say, rather they bring the experience,
the curiosity and the confidence to lead.

If you're a technically sharp sales professional with proven experience who
thrives in fast-paced environments, gets energized by variety and want to be
where inbound interest meets elite sales execution, then this is the role for
you.
