Are you a seasoned go-to-market leader with deep expertise in Physical AI and a track record of activating regional businesses in ambiguous, fast-moving domains?

Join the WWSO Physical AI team to lead the EMEA go-to-market motion for one of AWS's most strategic emerging categories. What We're Looking For

• Deep domain proficiency in Physical AI: robotics, autonomous systems, simulation, digital twins, edge intelligence, or industrial automation.
• Demonstrated ability to land industrial transformation programs in enterprise customers — translating technology capability into business outcomes by use case.
• A blend of technical depth and commercial savvy — equally comfortable whiteboarding a robotics architecture and presenting an AI strategy to a C-suite.
• Experience building and executing GTM strategies at scale, with a track record of defining the approach rather than inheriting it.
• Track record of operating as a thought leader and trusted advisor to senior customer and partner stakeholders across European markets.
• Ability to thrive in a high-ambiguity environment and shape direction without waiting for permission.
• Data-driven approach to prioritization — using pipeline data, propensity signals, and market intelligence to focus effort where it matters most.
• Strong written and verbal communication — able to author SLT-level narratives, regional strategy documents, and customer-facing positioning with equal fluency.

The Worldwide Specialist Organization (WWSO) is part of AWS Sales, Marketing, and Global Services (SMGS). We work backwards from our customers’ most complex and business-critical problems to build and execute go-to-market plans that turn AWS ideas into multi-billion-dollar businesses. WWSO teams include business development, specialist solutions architecture, and go-to-market.

This is a Principal-level Physical AI GTM Specialist role and the first dedicated regional role for this category in EMEA owning regional activation — translating global constructs into a European go-to-market motion spanning robotics, autonomous systems, simulation, digital twins, and edge intelligence. You will define the regional strategy, operationalize the V-team construct across EMEA field resources, activate strategic partner ecosystems, and drive pipeline and revenue across Europe’s most advanced industrial economies.

Key job responsibilities

• Own the EMEA Physical AI GTM strategy: define the regional narrative, identify high-impact use-case patterns, and drive enterprise adoption of AWS Physical AI solutions across manufacturing, automotive, HCLS, robotics, defense, and energy verticals.
• Operationalize the V-team in EMEA: coordinate field resources (SAs, AMs, BDs, partner teams) into a self-sustaining pipeline engine with clear ownership and governance mechanisms.
• Land Physical AI in enterprises: develop account-level strategies for priority customers, map industrial priorities to Physical AI use cases, and guide customers from proof-of-concept to production at scale.
• Operate at CxO/VP and practitioner level: engage senior leaders on Physical AI strategy while working with engineering teams on technical solution design.
• Activate strategic partner ecosystems: drive executive-level partner relationships with ISVs and SIs, enabling co-sell constructs and complex deal structures…
