We seek a Global and Strategic Accounts Leader for the SAP on Amazon Web Services business.


Amazon Web Services (AWS) is proud to be the pioneer and widely recognized leader in Cloud Computing. Our web services provide IT infrastructure in-the-cloud that is used by hundreds of thousands of developers and businesses around the world. These customers range from start-ups to leading web companies to Global 500 companies in industries such as financial services, pharmaceuticals, and high technology.

AWS and SAP have been collaborating since SAP became a customer in 2008. Together, we have certified AWS to support most SAP solutions, brought purpose built EC2 instances to market to support SAP customer needs, and helped SAP leverage AWS services to power a number of their SaaS and PaaS offerings like Concur, SuccessFactors (for government agencies), HANA Enterprise Cloud (HEC), and SCP. AWS has been supporting SAP workloads for customers longer than any other cloud provider, has more customers than any other cloud provider, is certified to support the largest public cloud (native) SAP S/4HANA (48TB) and BW/4HANA (100TB) deployments, and has more SAP HANA cloud native certifications than other cloud providers.

The SAP on AWS team engages SAP customers through 3 routes to market (RTM): the AWS field, consulting partners, and SAP. We are seeking an accomplished Field leader to build out a high performing Global Accounts team. The leader will contribute to the overall performance of the business globally measured by revenue growth, net new customers, and SAP Migrations to AWS. The successful candidate will have overachieved throughout their career and built strong, deep relationships with F1000 and/or G2000 organizations. This leader will have a broad role - part market maker, part operator, and part general manager - and will build a strategy focused on winning new customer segments and growing existing customer segments for the long term. As a self-starter willing to operate in a multifaceted way, you should also have experience in market development of cloud infrastructure and/or enterprise applications. The right candidate must possess top of the line leadership skills with the ability to execute on key business initiatives. The role will require working with the overall ecosystem to help secure lighthouse customers for new use cases, build scalable go-to-market programs, and develop strategic partnerships. This is an exciting opportunity to drive the go-to-market definition and execution of AWS's strategy for SAP on AWS globally.
