About this role

Description

Help the companies building the future of healthcare move faster—powering everything from connected devices to surgical robotics with cloud and AI. Run a territory like a business, with real ownership, executive access, and the chance to shape how medical device and med-tech companies adopt next-gen technology.

This role is about helping enterprise medical device, health technology, and diagnostics customers solve real problems—breaking down data silos, enabling real-world evidence, modernizing quality and regulatory systems, accelerating product development, and unlocking the value of device-generated data with AI/ML. You'll work directly with customer executives to understand where they're stuck and map that to AWS capabilities that actually move the needle.

Day to day, you're building and executing account plans, driving pipeline, and closing strategic deals. You're also quarterbacking a broader team—solutions architects, specialists, partners—to bring the right expertise at the right time. This isn't a "pass leads and follow up" role. You own the outcome.

What sets this apart: the customers are some of the most innovative companies in the world—building connected surgical platforms, AI-powered imaging, next-generation wearables, and intelligent implantables. The problems are complex and meaningful, and the impact is real. You're not just selling cloud—you're helping teams get devices to market faster, improve patient outcomes, streamline post-market surveillance, and rethink how medtech innovation gets done.

People who do well here know how to navigate ambiguity, build trust quickly, and push things forward. There's a lot of autonomy, but also high expectations. If you want a role where you can operate like a business leader, work on things that matter, and see the direct impact of what you do—this is it.
