The Corporate Business Development (Corp BD) team is a centralized business development function that manages Amazon’s most complex and high-impact business deals and partnership activities.
Innovation is what makes our team tick. We improve our customers’ experiences, forging partnerships, striking deals, and driving strategies across a wide span of verticals.
If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same, this could be the team for you.
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Program Lead focused on empowering the team with AI-enabled solutions and process improvements that enhance our effectiveness.
