Our customers benefit from business-tailored features including Business Prime, business-only pricing, approvals workflows, purchasing system integrations, and dedicated support.

Public Sector procurement across Europe is undergoing significant digital transformation, and you will be at the forefront. We are looking for a Senior Account Executive in the German Amazon Business Government team, a self-starter who is prepared to own and execute the German Public Sector Greenfield strategy for Government entities and drive growth with our most valuable Government customers in line with Amazon Business strategic direction.

As part of our Amazon Business team, you own a portfolio of German Government customers ensuring effective executive engagement with the most complex public customers, and achieving scale through partners, marketing and public policy. You are responsible for identifying high-potential customers and making Amazon Business a key solution for their procurement needs. You are responsible for building strong customer relationships, identifying and nurturing high-value opportunities and creating multi-year growth strategies that deliver measurable results. You are also helping to identify and win public tenders and frameworks and build partnerships with think tanks and decision makers. This role requires an individual with executive presence who can speak fluently about our business and investments across Germany and suitably represent our business with customer and partner executives.
