Senior Strategic Account Manager

London, United Kingdom

DESCRIPTION

Since 1994, Amazon has continuously expanded its product selection and innovated on behalf of customers in an ongoing effort to fulfil its stated ambition of being earth's most customer-centric company. Since 2015, Amazon.com has started reinventing on behalf of the business customer and is focused on building Amazon Business, the largest and most innovative Business-to-Business (B2B) marketplace in the world. With the launch of Amazon Business in the UK in 2017, the team is dedicated to developing solutions that make it easy for business customers in the UK and Ireland to buy through their Amazon Business Account.

Amazon Business represents an incredible opportunity to serve a vast new market segment and customer base. We are focused on building out a solution that enables business customers to find, compare, and buy from millions of items across multiple devices and marketplaces. Our customers include individual professionals, small businesses to large institutions (and everything in between). Our business customers have different needs than the traditional Amazon retail customers, and we are reinventing everything from how we display our selection to how we price and delivery products for customers and throughout the whole of the customer experience on and offsite.
