Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted
cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating —
that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies
trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

AWS Sales, Marketing, and Global Services (SMGS) is responsible for driving
revenue, adoption, and growth from the largest and fastest growing small- and
mid-market accounts to enterprise-level customers including public sector. The
AWS Global Support team interacts with leading companies and believes that
world-class support is critical to customer success. AWS Support also partners
with a global list of customers that are building mission-critical applications
on top of AWS services.
The AWS Industries team is committed to helping industry customers enable their
digital transformation journeys. Our primary goal is to meet customers where
they are in their cloud journey and work backwards from their industry specific
needs to transform their business and their entire industry. Our team speaks the
language of our industry customers, which means that we focus on business
outcomes and industry use cases on behalf of our customers, whether that is how
we build products and solutions, how we sell, how we deliver, or how we partner.

We empower retail and e-commerce leaders to transform businesses through AWS
cloud innovation.

Our Culture: We drive excellence through ownership—yet never alone. Each Account
Manager owns their territory end-to-end, but we lift each other up through
knowledge sharing and collective problem-solving. We embrace growth mindsets,
champion customer obsession with backbone, and execute with urgency. We
celebrate wins together and rally when teammates need support.

What Makes Us Different: We're not selling services—we're partnering with retail
leaders to reimagine customer experience and optimize operations. We bring
industry expertise, technical credibility, and genuine commitment.

Together, we're building the future of retail on AWS.
