Do you like startups? Would you like to be part of a team that is redefining technology in Life Sciences?

Working in collaboration with the startup sales team, you will drive growth across a broad set of customers in this vertical.

If you think you have what it takes to lead the best in the industry, AWS is hiring Senior Managers for our Solutions Architects


Funding for Life Sciences startups has broken records since 2015 and the industry possesses countless opportunities for innovation and disruption.

You will help team members ramp up on AWS and develop speaking, writing, presentation, and executive interaction skills.

You will need to be adept at interacting, communicating and partnering with other departments within AWS such as our Services Teams, Marketing, Business Development and the broader Solutions Architecture Organization, as well as representing your team to executive management.
