Account Executive, U.S. Army, US Army Team

AWS Department of War is seeking a Senior Account Executive to manage strategic relationships with U.S. Army tactical and expeditionary organizations, with primary focus on XVIII Airborne Corps and U.S. Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF). This role requires someone who can think strategically about how cloud computing, edge infrastructure, and AI/ML can directly impact the warfighter — from garrison planning environments to forward-deployed tactical operations.

The ideal candidate will build executive-level relationships with senior military leaders, develop account strategies aligned to Army modernization priorities, and drive AWS adoption across complex mission environments spanning multiple geographic combatant commands. This position requires both CONUS and OCONUS travel to military installations in the United States and Europe.


This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and obtain and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance.
