AWS Graviton provides up to 40% better price performance over comparable x86-based instances.

To help our customers reduce their carbon footprint, AWS Graviton uses up to 60% less energy for the same performance than comparable EC2 instances.

You will work with some of the biggest and most prestigious businesses in the UK and Ireland, diving deep into their requirements, explaining our value and capabilities, in order to drive new business.

The ideal candidate will possess a technical background, enabling them to engage accounts at a range of levels, including the CXO level.
