Do you have experience selling into the government, education, health care, or non-profit sectors? Are you a natural “hunter” who enjoys challenging customers to think differently about their procurement and supply chain technology?

Come be a part of a rapidly expanding $35 billion-dollar global business. With the launch of Amazon Business in Canada, we are expanding our sales team to make buying even easier for organizations and businesses across all sectors. Bring your insight, imagination and a healthy disregard for the impossible. At Amazon Business, we set out every day to innovate and disrupt the status quo.
