About the role
DESCRIPTION
AWS is seeking an experienced Senior Central Sales Leader to lead a high-performing team of Central Sales Representatives (CSRs) responsible for driving portfolio penetration and workload expansion across Enterprise accounts in UK & Ireland.
This is a people leadership role within the Cloud Sales Center (CSC) in EMEA, reporting to the Head of EMEA ENT CSC. The CSC works at scale across a broad portfolio of Enterprise customers, using AI-first sales motions: leveraging data signals and propensity models to identify expansion opportunities and convert them into revenue — combining strategic depth with velocity and operating leverage. The mission is to help customers accelerate their cloud and AI journeys by meeting them where they are and unlocking the next wave of adoption.
You will own the UKI ENG (Engaged) portfolio: defining the go-to-market strategy for driving deeper adoption of AWS services across hundreds of existing Enterprise customers, building and coaching a world-class team, and delivering against ambitious revenue and pipeline targets. You will operate as a builder — shaping how AI and automation augment your sellers’ effectiveness and pioneering motions that scale.
