AddressDESCRIPTION
Are you an inspiring leader who builds happy, high-performing teams? Are you a natural problem solver who thrives on root-causing complex scenarios and launching effective solutions that sustain and drive impact? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking an energetic and growth-minded leader to join the Private Pricing Programs and Experiences (3PX) team. In this role, you will lead the team responsible for Strategic Scale Initiatives. Your team will be globally distributed and own extending the Private Pricing Program’s mental models, best practices, and processes globally through a hub-and-spoke model that you define. You and your team will also drive a set of prioritized strategic initiatives to build foundation for the Private Pricing business and increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the broader organization. You will own both the long-term strategic thinking and short-term tactical planning, and mobilize your team through reliable and repeatable mechanisms that enable scale. Through this work, you and your team will play an instrumental role in driving Private Pricing Program awareness and adoption, and increasing deal count and velocity. The ideal candidate is energized by ambiguity, and enjoys hands-on opportunities to assess, define, and build vs. a turnkey role. You are customer-obsessed; you habitually work back from the customers’ needs and pain points in defining and prioritizing your work. You excel at stakeholder management, and can influence others to bring your vision to life through their work. You are focused and organized, and can orchestrate effectively even as the team juggles multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. You have excellent judgment on people’s strengths and motivations, and can optimize the team accordingly. You measure success by impact (vs. size of effort), and continuously inspect both approach and output to incrementally raise the bar over time.
