Amazon Web Services (AWS) is advancing the next evolution of cloud computing with AI technologies, and Sub-Saharan Africa represents a tremendous opportunity for Generative AI adoption. We are seeking a Senior GenAI Sales Specialist who brings strong technical AI knowledge together with a customer-centric, outcome-focused approach to revenue growth.
This role partners closely with customers across Sub-Saharan Africa to understand their goals, translate complex AI capabilities into clear business value, and support successful AI adoption at scale. If you enjoy collaborating with diverse stakeholders, communicating technical concepts with clarity, navigating emerging markets, and contributing to long-term customer success, we encourage you to apply.
AWS Global Sales supports customers of all sizes across the region to innovate and grow in the cloud.

We are seeking professionals who can help customers identify and prioritize AI use cases to create AWS opportunities, build sustainable pipelines, and guide customers through complex AI adoption journeys in sectors including financial services, mining, telecommunications, energy, retail, and the public sector.
As a Senior GenAI Sales Specialist, you will be at the forefront of driving adoption and revenue growth for AWS’s Generative AI services across Sub-Saharan Africa. Your role will involve identifying high-value customer opportunities within your assigned territory and engaging with AWS customers to understand their needs and align them with AWS Generative AI solutions.

You will understand a customer’s business initiatives, help craft account plans to achieve those initiatives, identify and drive opportunity win plans, and ensure successful launch to realize both customer vision and AWS revenue.
You will earn trust with Line of Business, Data Science, and IT personas. You will maintain an in-depth knowledge of AWS’s Generative AI services and relevant cross-functional areas to build strong relationships with customers. You exercise Learn & Be Curious to articulate AWS’ GenAI strategy and the services we offer to accelerate these workloads. You conduct compelling executive conversations on the transformational possibilities of generative AI and data, while also being capable of helping our customers navigate which services to evaluate for their use-cases. You can describe the “why” and “what” of generative AI use case and technical solutions at a 200-level, with the detailed “how” being provided by solution architects.
