Join a growing team at the market leader for cloud services and help shape the future of the North America Sales organization Digital Acquisition is the first face of AWS. When a customer raises their hand u2014 whether through a Contact Sales form or a Live Chat on the AWS website u2014 we are the team that answers. We are the front door to one of the world's most innovative technology companies and the first human connection in a customer's AWS journey. We specifically seek out technically sharp sales professionals with proven experience who are chosen to represent AWS at its most critical moment. We are a deliberately small, high-caliber team.

As a Customer Acquisition Representative (CAR) on the Digital Acquisition team, you will own the moment that matters most: when a prospect's interest is at its peak.

You will need to think fast, qualify quickly and know when to bring in the right technical and account resources to accelerate a deal. What sets this role apart is the combination of technical depth and sales acumen required to succeed. You will need to hold credible conversations about architecture, workload sizing, cloud economics and competitive positioning u2014 not as a solutions architect but as a trusted advisor who knows enough to recognize opportunity when it's right in front of you and move on it immediately. You will partner closely with Cloud Sales Reps, Solutions Architects and Field Sales teams across all US and Canadian territories, operating as a trusted qualifier who sets the foundation for deals that matter.
