Help the companies rewriting medicine move faster, powering everything from drug discovery to diagnostics with cloud and AI. Be the in-country leader for some of the world's most innovative life sciences organisations, working as part of a global account team while owning the relationship with the technical and innovation leaders based in Ireland/NI.
This role sits at the intersection of international collaboration and local impact. You'll be part of a broader global account team, partnering with colleagues across multiple geographies to drive cohesive customer strategies. In Ireland, you'll lead the engagement with the senior technical decision-makers, R&D leaders, and innovation teams who are shaping how these organisations adopt next-gen technology. It's a unique position: global context, local ownership.
The work itself is about helping enterprise biopharma, biotech, and diagnostics customers solve real problems, breaking down data silos, accelerating clinical trials, modernising R&D, and unlocking the value of their data with AI/ML. You'll work directly with customer executives to understand where they're stuck and map that to AWS capabilities that actually move the needle.
Day to day, you're building and executing account plans in close coordination with global account leads, driving pipeline, and closing strategic deals. You're also orchestrating a broader team, solutions architects, specialists, partners, to bring the right expertise at the right time. This isn't a "pass leads and follow up" role. You own the Ireland/NI-based outcome and influence the global strategy.
What sets this apart: the customers are some of the most innovative companies in the world, the problems are complex and meaningful, and the impact is real. You're not just selling cloud, you're helping teams get therapies to patients faster, improve trial outcomes, and rethink how science gets done. And you're doing it as part of a connected, international team where your local insights shape global direction.
People who do well here know how to navigate ambiguity, build trust quickly across cultures and time zones, and push things forward. There's a lot of autonomy, but also high expectations. If you want a role where you can operate like a business leader within a global framework, work on things that matter, and see the direct impact of what you do, this is it.
