Description
Application deadline: May 2, 2026
Help the companies rewriting medicine move faster-powering everything from drug discovery to diagnostics with cloud and AI. Run a territory like a business, with real ownership, executive access, and the chance to shape how life sciences adopts next-gen tech.
This role is about helping enterprise biopharma, biotech, and diagnostics customers solve real problems-breaking down data silos, accelerating clinical trials, modernizing R&D, and unlocking the value of their data with AI/ML. You'll work directly with customer executives to understand where they're stuck and map that to AWS capabilities that actually move the needle.
Day to day, you're building and executing account plans, driving pipeline, and closing strategic deals. You're also quarterbacking a broader team-solutions architects, specialists, partners-to bring the right expertise at the right time. This isn't a "pass leads and follow up" role. You own the outcome.
What sets this apart: the customers are some of the most innovative companies in the world, the problems are complex and meaningful, and the impact is real. You're not just selling cloud-you're helping teams get therapies to patients faster, improve trial outcomes, and rethink how science gets done.
People who do well here know how to navigate ambiguity, build trust quickly, and push things forward. There's a lot of autonomy, but also high expectations. If you want a role where you can operate like a business leader, work on things that matter, and see the direct impact of what you do-this is it.
