WHY IS YOUR COMPANY A GREAT PLACE TO WORK FOR SALES PROFESSIONALS?

AWS is a top destination for sales professionals because its culture is built on Amazon’s Leadership Principles, which create an environment focused on growth, innovation, and customer impact. Sellers are encouraged to Think Big, supported by AWS’s global scale, which helped drive $90.8B in revenue in 2023. A strong focus on Customer Obsession empowers sales teams to deeply understand client needs and deliver tailored solutions that create long-term value — reflected in testimonials from account managers who feel like true extensions of their customers’ teams.

Sales professionals are given real autonomy through Ownership, managing their territories like business owners and embracing what many describe as “the art of the possible.” Continuous development is another pillar: the principle Learn and Be Curious ensures sellers have constant access to training, resources, and diverse expertise across AWS to keep building their skills and advancing their careers. Together, these principles make AWS an environment where ambitious sales professionals can thrive, innovate, and make meaningful impact.

LIST SOME OF THE MARKETING ACTIVITIES YOUR COMPANY DOES TO SUPPORT SALES

AWS uses a wide-ranging, customer-focused marketing strategy designed to directly empower the sales team. A core element is its deep library of educational content—whitepapers, guides, blogs, case studies, and webinars—that helps customers understand AWS solutions and supports sellers in answering questions and demonstrating value.

Large-scale events and webinars such as AWS re:Invent and global AWS Summits create major opportunities for sellers to meet customers, gather insights, and strengthen relationships. AWS also runs targeted advertising and social media campaigns that increase brand visibility, highlight innovations, and generate qualified leads across industries. AWS’s extensive Partner Network—130,000+ partners in over 200 countries—amplifies sales efforts through co-marketing and integrated solution offerings.

Finally, customer success stories play a major role, showcasing real-world results and giving sellers powerful proof points to communicate outcomes and build trust with prospects.

DESCRIBE SOME OF YOUR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT (CHARITY, POSITIVE PRESS IN THE COMMUNITY)

AWS embraces the Amazon Leadership Principle Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility, guiding its global commitment to social impact, sustainability, and community support. The company is actively working toward major environmental goals, including reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 and operating on 100% renewable energy by 2025, while also providing critical disaster relief for crises such as the Turkey earthquake and the war in Ukraine. AWS contributes to global health innovations as well, partnering with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to help develop cancer vaccines.

AWS also invests heavily in the communities where its employees live and work. Since 2018, Amazon has committed over $88 million to nonprofits, schools, and community groups in the Arlington region to support affordable housing, education, racial equity, and sustainability. AWS expanded this impact by opening a free AWS Skills Center to help residents build cloud-computing skills, part of Amazon’s broader pledge to provide free tech training to 29 million people by 2025 and to invest more than $1.2 billion in skills development for its own workforce.

The company’s community involvement also includes strong advocacy for inclusion, diversity, and STEM education, supported by large employee groups such as Women in Technology, Women in AI/ML, Women in Engineering, and She Builds. These communities, numbering in the tens of thousands, work to expand representation and create supportive spaces for women pursuing careers in technology.
