Amazon is looking for a driven, entrepreneurial, and professional European Strategy Lead with a passion for problem solving and building from scratch to help accelerate regional growth at eero.

In this role, you will work in a fast moving and ambiguous environment, use effective C-level communication skills to manage relationships, develop and execute win-win business plans that help our partners and sales channels thrive.
