Lead a team. Carry a territory. Shape how
AWS runs the scale business across Healthcare & Life Sciences. This is a player-coach role—equal parts selling and leading—where you own outcomes on both sides.
You'll manage a team of 4–5 L4/L5 sellers covering ~150 scale accounts across the five HCLS sub-industries: Bio/Diagnostics, MedTech/Devices, HealthTechs, Payors, and Providers. At the same time, you'll carry your own book of 20–30+ scale accounts (≤$1.5M account
ARR), running your territory with the same rigor and ownership you expect from your team. This isn't a "pick one" role—it's both, and the people who thrive here are the ones who can shift between coaching a rep on a deal and closing their own in the same afternoon.
Day to day, you're building sellers, building
pipeline, and building the playbook. On the leadership side, that means running team meetings, 1x1s, shadow selling, deal coaching, and escalation management. You're also the orchestrator for the extended OneTeam—coordinating SAs, CSMs, partners, and specialists across your team's accounts so the right expertise shows up at the right time. On the selling side, you're doing the work: engaging customers, developing account plans, driving deals, and delivering against your own number. The scale motion is fundamentally different from enterprise engaged selling—it's about driving plays across volume rather than going deep on a handful of named accounts.
What makes this role different from a pure team lead or a pure seller: you're expected to be a thought leader for the scale business. That means working closely with sub-industry leaders,
GTM teams, and greenfield motions to develop and execute campaigns and sales plays—both horizontal (migrations, modernizations) and vertical (sub-industry-specific). You'll shape how scale accounts are identified, incubated, and graduated. Leadership will look to you to define what "good" looks like for the scale motion across WWPS.
This is a high-autonomy, high-accountability role. You own the team's
quota and goal attainment. You own your personal number. And you own the strategy for how the scale business grows. If you want to lead from the front, build something, and have real impact on both people and customers—this is it.

About the team
The Healthcare & Life Sciences team partners with organizations across five sub-industries—Bio/Diagnostics, MedTech/Devices, HealthTechs, Payors, and Providers—to accelerate how care is delivered, therapies are developed, and data is turned into decisions. The mission is simple: help customers move faster and make better decisions using cloud, data, and AI.
The scale
segment is a critical growth engine—covering the long tail of high-potential HCLS accounts (≤$1.5M account
ARR) that require a fundamentally different motion than enterprise engaged accounts. Where enterprise engaged sellers
go deep on a few strategic accounts, the scale team drives plays across volume—executing campaigns, running repeatable motions, and covering more ground with a lean, focused team. The team is building that playbook in real time: how to identify, incubate, and graduate accounts; how to run effective campaigns at scale; and how to deliver results.
The culture is high ownership, low ego. People step in where needed, challenge each other, and stay focused on outcomes. The team operates with urgency, values clear thinking, and rewards those who take initiative. It's collaborative, fast-paced, and built for people who want to lead from the front and have real impact.
