Senior Data Sales Specialist

At Amazon, we are working to be the most customer-centric company on earth. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people. Amazon is continually evolving and is a place where motivated employees thrive and also where employee ownership and accountability lead to meaningful results.

The data layers of databases, analytics, storage, governance, are the foundation for AI. Enterprises across ASEAN are at an inflection point: modernizing legacy data estates, adopting new data architectures, and establishing the data foundations required to run AI in production.

You will be the primary field expert helping ASEAN's customers design and adopt modern data platforms on AWS, while driving revenue across the integrated data portfolio.

You'll operate at CXO level (CIO, CDO, CTO) and well as the builders within our customers, leading with a point of view, and help customers see the architecture that solves their business problem.
