Principal Deal Pursuit Leader, Strategic Accounts, APJC Strategic Enterprise Sales

AWS is seeking an exceptional Senior Deal Pursuit Leader to drive our most consequential transformational opportunities across our largest enterprise accounts. This is a high-intensity, time-bound pursuit role with a singular objective: to close $200M+ Total Contract Value (TCV) deals, within a twelve-month sprint across a portfolio of strategically selected accounts.
You will operate at the intersection of business development, executive relationship management, complex deal orchestration, and cross-functional leadership, answering one question every day: what must happen today to move these deals forward?


Key job responsibilities
• Own and drive a portfolio of mega-deal pursuits across APJC’s most strategic enterprise customers.
• Orchestrate 10+ cross-functional stakeholders including AWS Industry Specialists, GTM Specialists, Pan- Amazon Strategic Business Development, Solution Architects, Strategic Contracts team, Cloud Economics teams and AWS Partners through complex deal cycles.
• Drive Think Big during Prospecting and Qualification stages, identifying transformational outcomes tailored to each customer’s unique business context, that helps achieve CEO / LOB CxO leader’s business transformation objectives, and for AWS unlocks deal sizes beyond what incremental consumption growth would deliver.
• Build and own C-suite executive relationships with customer decision-makers, developing trust-based partnerships that reimagine existing relationships beyond consumption-based pricing.
• Leading the weekly deal-room cadence, run by deal execution leads, maintaining rigorous deal execution discipline with clear progression gates at 60-day, 120-day, and 180-day marks.
• Make decisive go/no-go calls — if an account has not reached Technical Validation stage by day 90, execute pivot triggers and rotate in pre-qualified replacement accounts to maintain three active pursuits at all times.
• Deliver monthly business reviews to APJC senior leadership with clear deal progression metrics, risk assessments, and acceleration recommendations.
