From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
We are seeking a candidate with a passion for e-commerce and a desire to make a real impact on global customers in a Day One business. Our mission is to expand selection from US-based retailers and brand owners worldwide. Although we are already a multi-billion-dollar business, we believe we are just getting started, as less than 5% of US-based sellers have started their international journey. This role offers the opportunity to innovate and elevate the seller and customer experience on a global scale.
As a Strategic Account Manager on the Amazon Global Selling team, you will work with top Amazon.com sellers, helping them expand their online retail business to Amazon's stores worldwide. You will work with sellers leadership teams, identifying key decision-makers and aligning them to prioritize actions required to expand their online retail business to Amazon's global stores such as Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.com.mx.
You will build and cultivate strong relationships with sellers in your portfolio and be a trusted e-commerce and global sales advisor to the leadership in seller organizations. You will partner with external service providers to help your sellers obtain the required tax and product-level compliance certifications for selling in new markets. You will be comfortable with long sales cycles, often lasting more than 8 months, taking sellers through step-by-step processes to launch in a new market.
Success in this role will be evaluated based on the scale of the sellers you manage, the number of new markets into which you help your sellers expand, unique selection additions in global markets, and the global sales revenue you drive from sellers in your portfolio. You will utilize a wide range of sales and negotiation skills and work across cross-functional areas to drive the performance of sellers in your portfolio.
In addition to your day-to-day role working with sellers, you will also contribute to business development and identify the correct input metrics that drive business growth for sellers in Amazon's global stores. You will use customer feedback, market growth trends, competitive best practices, and Gen AI developments to suggest new features required in our products and promotional programs to accelerate seller growth or improve the selling partner experience.
Ideal candidates will thrive in an ambiguous and dynamic environment where they must develop, evolve, and implement business strategies to deliver results, have relentlessly high standards, and operate as business owners with end-to-end responsibility to deliver business growth.
