The Undiscovered Small Business Accelerator (USBA) at Amazon is dedicated to driving the success of small and historically underrepresented business populations, including minority-, women-, and veteran-owned businesses. As part of this initiative, Amazon has committed to empowering Black entrepreneurs through the Black Business Accelerator (BBA). This program provides access to educational, financial, and advisory resources that support Black-owned business owners in succeeding as sellers in Amazon's store. We are seeking a Senior Business Development Manager who will leverage their customer obsession and strategic partnership skills to address the challenges faced by Black-owned and small businesses. The role is centered around enabling the success and sustainable growth of these businesses within Amazon's ecosystem. This requires aligning top-level strategic objectives, goals, and metrics through a deep understanding of the program, thought leadership, and the ability to influence resource investments and deliverables across teams. The ultimate goal is to amplify the business growth of all undiscovered and small businesses. The ideal candidate will be self-motivated, well-organized, and collaborative, embracing ambiguity while maintaining a high standard for the overall seller experience. They will think big and strategically to deliver innovative ideas and initiatives that continuously enhance benefit offerings, such as access to capital, business mentorship, and e-commerce management. Additionally, the candidate will identify gaps and opportunities, develop proposals, and collaborate with both internal and external stakeholders to create revenue-generating improvements based on data and ROI.
