Business Development Manager, Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD)

Amazon Warehousing & Distribution (AWD), part of Amazon Supply Chain Services, is building the future of logistics — enabling manufacturers of all sizes to leverage Amazon's world-class supply chain, transportation network, and advanced technology to move products from factory floor to customer door faster, more reliably, and at significantly lower cost.

We are looking for an entrepreneurial, results-oriented Sr. Business Development Manager to drive seller acquisition and growth by displacing incumbent 3PL providers and positioning AWD as the single, integrated supply chain solution for sellers operating across multiple channels. This is a unique opportunity to operate in a customer-facing, startup-like environment within Amazon — where speed, ownership, and customer obsession drive everything we do.

Key job responsibilities
Strategic Growth & Account Planning: Develop and execute strategic account plans that drive revenue growth and expand partnership scope. Own end-to-end strategy for partner program launches and optimization, ensuring measurable ROI.

Relationship Management & Consultative Expertise: Build executive-level partner relationships, navigating complex and ambiguous situations to maximize partnership value. Serve as a trusted strategic advisor providing data-driven insights and tailored recommendations.

Client Advocacy & Cross-Functional Leadership: Champion the voice of the seller internally, working cross-functionally with Product, Operations, Sales, and Leadership to ensure services evolve to meet partner demands. Influence without authority to remove barriers and enhance the partner experience.

Executive Communication & Risk Management: Deliver clear, compelling communications to partners and AWD leadership including strategic business reviews and executive briefings. Proactively assess risks and lead escalation management with a solutions-oriented approach.

Market Intelligence & Opportunity Development: Synthesize market trends, competitive dynamics, and partner feedback to inform internal roadmaps. Identify and cultivate lead generation opportunities within existing partnerships to drive incremental revenue.

A day in the life
No two days are the same. One morning you're leading a consultative call with an enterprise seller evaluating AWD against their current 3PL. By midday, you're in a cross-functional session with Product translating seller feedback into roadmap priorities. Later, you're analyzing shipment data to identify high-potential accounts, then preparing a strategic business review for leadership. This role blends relationship building, data-driven decision-making, and strategic storytelling — all in service of growing AWD's seller base.
