DESCRIPTION
Amazon Adapt is hiring a Senior Account Executive to service the Amazon Ads LCS organization. Amazon Adapt is a program designed to offer coverage solutions for business gaps which may occur due to extended leave of absence (parental, medical). Amazon Adapt deploys highly skilled, hyper-agile talent that ensures customers can continue to invest in their partnerships with Amazon Ads, uninterrupted. The program ensures that the high bar for customer service, strategic partnership, and revenue attainment is maintained during these coverage gaps.

As a Senior Account Executive (AE) on the Adapt team, you will report to the Amazon Adapt Sales Manager and use your 10+ years' experience helping to bridge the gap between permanent AE coverage on enterprise accounts. You will sell digital advertising solutions to C-Level and their ad agencies to successfully drive revenue targets. You will partner with the permanent Sales Manager you're supporting and operations team to structure coverage for success, and cross-pollinate learnings with each new account assignment. With your broad and long-standing client-side and agency relationships within the media world, consultative approach and deep understanding of the digital advertising landscape, you will act as a strategic partner to your assigned clients and sell a broad range of advertising solutions that will ensure that their business goals are met.
