Job description

We're seeking experienced technical sales reps or candidates with a strong technical background combined with customer-facing experience. You should take genuine joy in helping businesses succeed by diagnosing cloud architecture challenges and advising the most appropriate technical solutions. Your sales training is more important than your engineering and/or cloud account management experience: The former builds the kind of knowledge you'll need to hit the ground running; the latter you'll earn along the way.

As an inaugural AWS Generative AI Partner, we offer a unique platform to leverage your expertise and contribute to our innovative projects. A strong drive to close deals and a competitive spirit are essential, but the ability to thrive in a team-driven environment will make you a great fit.

Key Responsibilities

Own the full sales cycle post-prospecting, including discovery, client meetings, presentations, proposals, negotiations and ongoing account management, aligning with TSLs for strategic input if needed.
Build and nurture long-term relationships with key stakeholders at AWS.
Collaborate closely with our engineering team to define project scopes and ensure the successful delivery of solutions.
Represent Loka at industry events and conferences to enhance our visibility and expand our network.
Work closely with sales leads, engineers and project managers to ensure seamless project execution and client satisfaction.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business or a related field; advanced degree (MS, PhD) a plus
Minimum of 3+ years of technical experience in engineering, AI/ML, data science, product management, solution architecture, sales engineering or a related field OR equivalent experience in a priority vertical such as Healthcare or Life Sciences
Proven track record in a customer-facing role, preferably within the technology sector
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
Ability to understand and communicate technical concepts, especially in the data and infrastructure space
Good organizational skills and ability to manage a wide range of diverse projects and customer needs concurrently
Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple priorities effectively
Ability to travel to meet clients and attend industry events up to 25% of the month
Eligible to work in the US without sponsorship

Benefits

Salary range $90,000 to $120,000
Every other Friday off (26 extra days off a year)
Remote and flexible (must be within one hour of AWS hubs)
401(k) matching
Short- and long-term disability coverage
Premium health insurance
Paid sick days and local holidays
