Senior Account Executive, Hospitality

Description

Amazon Advertising is dedicated to driving measurable outcomes for brand advertisers, agencies, authors, and entrepreneurs. Our ad solutions-including sponsored, display, video, and custom ads-leverage Amazon's innovations and insights to find, attract, and engage intended audiences throughout their daily journeys. With a range of flexible pricing and buying models, including self-service, managed service, and programmatic ad buying, these solutions help businesses build brand awareness, increase product sales, and more.

This is a unique opportunity to help shape an emerging business within Amazon Advertising. Our team is early in its journey, with an ambitious charter to establish Amazon as a category leader and to bring innovative advertising solutions to a sophisticated, fast-evolving market. We move quickly, think big, and take pride in clearing the path in a complex space so our advertisers can engage audiences in new and more effective ways.

In this role, you'll own a strategic book of business, selling Amazon's video, programmatic, and measurement solutions to senior marketing and agency leaders. You'll personally lead large, consultative deals and multi-year commitments - connecting upper-funnel video engagement to lower-funnel business outcomes - and navigate the unique compliance and complexity of a regulated category. This is a strategic, enterprise-scale selling role, not a mid-market or account-management motion.

- Build new senior-level relationships across a strategic advertiser base within the Alc Bev/regulated vertical.

- Understand Amazon's advertising portfolio-particularly our video, programmatic, and measurement solutions-and articulate its differentiated value in the market.

- Use programmatic, clean-room/AMC-style data collaboration, and outcome-based measurement to reshape how clients invest.

- Partner cross-functionally to navigate a dynamic, regulated environment and remove barriers to growth.

- Forecast and prioritize against quota using Sales CRM tools; leverage AI-powered tools to sharpen targeting.

- Experience working with Fortune 500 advertisers, agencies, and clients
