From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a complete set of cloud services that enable all companies, from startups to enterprises, to run virtually everything in the cloud. AWS Worldwide Startups is the dedicated organization that helps startups build, grow, and scale on AWS. Within this organization, North America Startups represents one of our largest and most strategically significant businesses, serving thousands of startups across the continent.
We are seeking a Director and General Manager to lead the North America Startups organization. This leader will own the full go-to-market strategy, revenue delivery, and team development for our NA Startup business, partnering directly with venture capital firms, founders, and startup executives to accelerate growth through cloud, data, and AI adoption. This role carries single-threaded ownership of a large and complex business that requires the ability to lead through the AI transformation as it reshapes the startup landscape.
Role Overview
As the Director and GM of North America Startups, you will set vision, strategy, and operational cadence for the largest regional startup business within AWS. You will lead a large, multi-disciplinary organization spanning Sales, Business Development, Solutions Architecture, Investment Management, and Go-To-Market functions across multiple hubs including San Francisco, Seattle, New York, and Boston.
You will drive revenue growth across the full spectrum of startup customers — from early-stage AI-native companies to high-growth scale-ups positioned to become tomorrow's enterprise leaders.
Unlike traditional sales leadership roles, this position requires general management of an entire market segment with substantial P&L responsibility, direct influence on AWS product strategy through customer and ecosystem feedback, engagement at the highest levels of AWS and Amazon, and alignment with the venture capital and startup communities. Additionally, proficiency in managing direct and matrixed resources is required, and the ability to engage technical founders is essential.
You will operate with significant strategic ambiguity in a rapidly evolving landscape where investment themes, business models, and portfolio company needs shift continuously.
The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments, restricted stock units (RSUs), and sales incentives. Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location.
Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
