Job Description

AWS is the trusted growth partner to more startups worldwide than any other cloud provider. For nearly two decades, we’ve supported hundreds of thousands of startups, from stealth-stage innovators to unicorns, by giving them access to the same world-class technology powering Amazon itself. Today, more than 80% of unicorn startups run on AWS.

As we continue to scale, AWS is seeking a dynamic Senior Sales Leader to own and accelerate growth across the India Greenfield Startup segment. This role is ideal for a strategic, high-impact sales executive who thrives in fast-paced environments and is passionate about empowering the next generation of iconic companies.

You will lead a team of Account Managers who support early stage startups, helping customers build, grow, and scale their businesses on AWS. This leader will be responsible for driving revenue, customer success, and cloud adoption through high-touch engagement, executive sponsorship, and ecosystem development.

In this role, you’ll shape our go-to-market strategy, coach and grow a high-performing sales team, and collaborate across AWS business development, solution architecture, marketing, and partner teams to deliver exceptional outcomes. You’ll also play a key role in deepening AWS’s presence in the broader startup ecosystem, including venture capital, accelerators, and incubators, as we continue to support disruptive innovation across industries.

Key job responsibilities
- Build, lead, and inspire a field sales team supporting high-growth startups
- Own the full talent lifecycle for your team, including performance management, pipeline development, and career growth
- Engage directly with startup Founders, CxOs, boards, and key VC stakeholders to drive cloud strategy and business transformation
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., Solutions Architecture, Business Development, Marketing, Partners, Training) to align on customer acquisition and success plans
- Guide strategic account planning and execution to deliver revenue growth, customer satisfaction, and adoption milestones
- Develop executive relationships with key customers and deliver business reviews with AWS senior leadership
- Identify new go-to-market opportunities and develop mechanisms to accelerate time-to-value for customers
