Identifying and executing strategic partnerships and initiatives is our primary objective. You will be required to handle multiple projects that may span a variety of business categories and be forward-thinking to effectively negotiate terms that benefit Amazon and our customers.Our team recognizes that the hardest part of business development is not always finalizing terms with a partner – it is often aligning with internal stakeholders on the parameters, strategic tradeoffs, and high-judgment decisions related to a deal or project.

Your ability to build relationships internally and externally will be critical, as will be your resourcefulness, your analytical skills, and your grit.Key job responsibilities
