Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a complete set of cloud services that enable all companies, from startups to enterprises, to run virtually everything in the cloud, including mobile applications, big data analytics, AI/ML platforms, and microservices/serverless infrastructures.

Startups, which are now primarily born-in-the-cloud, represent a critically important and growing subset of customers to AWS. Funding for healthcare and life science (HCLS) startups has broken records since 2015, as 2 out of every 5 IPOs have been healthcare or life science companies.

The healthcare and life science industries possess countless opportunities for innovation and disruption. These companies have unique needs, regulatory considerations, sales cycles, and growth trajectories that distinguish them from traditional companies. These businesses require different engagement strategies and sales motions from sellers to effectively acquire, grow, and retain them long-term on the AWS platform.

As AWS continues to rapidly grow, we seek a US HCLS Startup Account Manager to earn trust and help drive the growth of high-potential early, mid, and late stage startups.

Your responsibilities will include driving revenue, crafting partnerships, accelerating science, and ensuring new HCLS startups select AWS as their primary cloud provider. You will align closely with HCLS counterparts in business development, marketing, solution architecture and partner teams to lead execution of coordinated go-to-market strategies and sales plays. You will also work closely with business development teams who are driving strategic support, global co-programming, and portfolio engagement to help drive top-of-funnel customer acquisition and accelerate seller cycles in the field.

You will be at the heart of the latest sub-industry trends like genomics, medical imaging, drug discovery, medical devices, and health technology. Your customers will leverage state-of-the-art technologies on AWS to innovate and become the next global HCLS influencers like today's Illumina, Novartis, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Cerner.

You need to possess passion about healthcare, a self-starter with a strong entrepreneurial spirit who is prepared to work in a fast-paced, often ambiguous environment, execute against ambitious goals, and consistently embrace the Amazon Culture.
