Associate Account Manager Entry Level Jobs in Virginia

This is not your typical entry-level sales role - it's a launchpad.
At Amazon, our peculiar culture and obsession with delighting customers extends to everything we do, including what we call our teams. While the industry knows this role as a SDR, BDR, Associate Account Executive, Amazon's customer-first DNA means we call our team members "Customer Acquisition Representatives" (CARs). It's more than a name, it reflects our belief that every interaction should start and end with the customer

As a CAR, you'll accelerate pipeline growth, navigate complex customer landscapes, shift gears between strategic thinking and high-impact execution, and put customers in the driver's seat of their cloud journey. Every CAR needs fuel, yours will be curiosity, coaching, and the full support of the world's leading cloud platform.
As a CAR, you will take the lead in unlocking growth potential for both new and existing AWS customers. We are one of the principal sources of new pipeline that fuels the AWS engine - engaging the unengaged accounts and contacts to drive pipeline that turns into revenue

Using cutting-edge AI tools and data-driven insights, you'll identify whitespace opportunities and develop innovative strategies to reach unengaged accounts at scale. You'll be part of shaping how technology is deployed across thousands of organizations, from enabling rapid, individually customized cancer treatments to helping Fortune 500 companies meet their carbon emissions goals. The AWS technology stack is the backbone of some of the most innovative solutions to the world's most pressing problems.
Your career path is clear

This role is designed as the entry point into AWS's North American sales organization. We don't need the perfect candidate, but we do want people who are curious, coachable, and willing to learn. We've developed hundreds of early-career professionals into full cycle sellers as Cloud Sales Representatives (CSRs), many within 18-24 months.

You'll be paired with mentors and have access to structured development programs that accelerate your growth from day one.
According to Gartner, AWS is the leading cloud provider in both ability to execute and completeness of vision. With only 5% of all IT spend in the cloud, we are still in the early stages of what is possible, and with the explosion of generative AI, the opportunity has never been larger. You'll be at the forefront, equipped with the most advanced AI-powered sales technology in the industry

Consider this your pit crew advantage - the tools, training, and teammates that keep you performing at your best.
