ANZ Senior Account Manager, Amazon Leo

Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.
The Amazon Leo ANZ team is seeking a Senior Account Manager to own and grow our retail channel partnerships and drive commercial outcomes across Australia and New Zealand. This role blends strategic account management with hands-on execution – from negotiating trading terms with major retail and distribution partners, to establishing a rhythm of business for annual planning and executive engagement.
You will be a self-starter who can listen, form insight, drive strategic vision and execute across organisational boundaries. For your assigned account portfolio, you will own annual channel planning, sales and marketing strategies, sales results, forecasts, inventory allocations, promotional activities and deployment strategies. You will influence stakeholders and business partners at all levels to improve channel effectiveness and deliver exceptional customer and partner experiences. You will have a passion for innovation in connectivity and consumer technology, a willingness to constantly challenge the status quo, and the capability to build strong, trusted partnerships with Australia and New Zealand’s leading channel partners.
You will work closely with GTM, Operations, Growth, Product, Marketing, Finance, and Analytics teams. You will be comfortable with ambiguity in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment, experienced in leveraging data to analyse sales channel efficiency.
