Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. Amazon strives to be Earth’s most customer-centric company, Earth’s best employer, and Earth’s safest place to work. National security, Defense, and National Law Enforcement customers are as diverse as they are resourceful. Our customers operate under varying and rapidly changing circumstances requiring secure, resilient, agile, and innovative technical solutions and operating models. These customers rely on our services to enable mission applications that keep their national leaders informed, ensure continuity of government, and defend their homeland, and protect and serve their citizens.
Key job responsibilities
The global National Security, Defense, and Law enforcement team is seeking a senior business development leader with demonstrable experience working with national security, defense, and law enforcement mission owners to define, source, and deliver secure accredited solutions that reduce time to achieve mission outcomes.

These next steps may include proof of concept development, participate in creating subject matter expert papers and marketing content, and work with turn-key solution delivery partners to align their respective products and services to meet this customer community's needs. If you sound like this person, we can’t wait to meet you!
