This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced sales leader who is passionate about building teams, developing talent, and delivering results through others. You will hire and develop a team of sales executives, set the vision and strategy for the US Federal Civilian business, and represent that business to senior Amazon Leo for Government leadership. You will operate where the problem, opportunity, and strategy are not yet fully defined, using significant expertise and high judgment to design the right team structure and mechanisms to meet long-term business goals.
