Francis Mwendwa Musau is an Account Manager FBA in our Marketplace Team in Berlin. In Francis´s words: 🏙Tell us about your team and your current role? "My team supports Selling Partners during their European Expansion with Fulfillment by Amazon. We perceive as very important the Voice of our Sellers, who are our customers as well, and drive incremental innovation based on Seller’s feedback. Surfacing feedback encourages idea generation across different teams, which I truly appreciate." 🚀What are the things you like about working at Amazon? Amazon is unique for its start-up mentality, despite its size. We are able to drive innovation, even outside from our core job, through project work and stakeholder support. This truly makes my workplace dynamic. Essentially, there is always more to learn as systems change and we evolve with the economy. 🌟 How was your experience undergoing a hiring process at Amazon? The focus on leadership principles was unique and drove me to question myself in the best ways possible. Preparing for the interviewer was challenging, but the notion of growing just through interview preparation excited me for what is more to come once I earn the job. 📍Interested in joining the Marketplace Team team in Germany? ✨Check our Munich open roles here: https://lnkd.in/eszVssiH #insideamazon #talentacquisition #amazonjobs #hiring #munich

Dave Limp, former Amazon SVP: The best way to fail at inventing something is by making it somebody's part-time job. I would add: the best way to fail even harder is to make it 5 leaders' part-time job. If the new launch is owned by 5 leads...good luck. People think they have a full time job leading Marketing / Sales / Customer Success / etc...but really that Marketing lead has 5 part-time jobs doing GTM for X funnel, Re-brand of the website, Optimize Ad Budget, Market research for new product Y...they end up being accountable for all...aka none. Amazon invented "Single Thread Owner"...STO. This is the most senior person who is 100% accountable to a project such as inventing a new product, launching a new line of business, or executing a digital transformation. The STO's strategy needs to breed results and single-person accountability fuels the progress.

"Being in the Game Long Enough to Get Lucky" I previously discussed this quote regarding individuals who excel in their careers. I wanted to present it from a different angle on the pursuit of one's dream job. For me, this was working within Strategic Accounts/Global sales. Once I joined AWS, I already began researching and connecting with managers to understand what the requirements and expectations were of people joining strategic accounts. Given Amazon's emphasis on a writing culture, I crafted a comprehensive six-page narrative outlining my experiences, achievements, customer stories, and peer feedback. I shared this with various global/strategic managers to demonstrate my interest and substantiate my sales history. This process persisted for two years, involving consistent engagement with managers and ensuring I possessed the qualifications required for the team. There were numerous instances where managers expressed that I wasn’t yet prepared and needed to build up my body of work. Finally, an opportunity emerged at the location I desired. The manager I built a close relationship with tipped me off before it was announced publicly. Fast forward to the present—I've been in strategic accounts for the past year, and it has been an awesome experience. All of this shows the importance of not merely establishing initial connections and hoping for the best. It involves continuous effort, maintaining a steady rhythm to nurture relationships, and investing the necessary work to demonstrate readiness. There are countless managers out there, and with persistence, you will find one willing to take a chance on you.

We're hiring... I remember seeing a post like this a couple of years ago thinking ‘Wow, what I wouldn’t give to work at Amazon one day, and maybe one day I will be good enough to apply for a job there.’ Working at Amazon is winning the career lottery. It took me the better part of 10 years to have the courage to apply for a role at Amazon and I ended up getting two job offers – which is very unusual. Amazon saw in me what I did not see in myself – the potential to 100x my thinking and my ambitions in scaling sustainability and innovation. My advice if you are reading this is to have the courage to apply. We are looking for builders, for Day 1 thinkers, for outliers, for misfits, for rebels with a cause, for those who reach beyond their grasp, and for those who wish to change the world. On top of working for a great company with an incredible culture – you also get to have a manager that truly cares about your personal and professional goals and will have your back.   It’s either one day; or Day 1 🚀

Look, I'm typically not the loud braggy one, but Straight Up Growth has been crushing it for our clients. The facts don’t lie….. Our Average Client pre-SUG:  Automated technology runs all advertisements + bids  Managed by a junior employee, leveraging said automation while managing 10+ brands 15-20% annual growth (typical annual growth on Amazon) Our Average Client With SUG: Weekly calls with experienced brand strategists who check your account performance daily  2x annual sales (Averaging 5-10MM) I'm not here to sell you on Amazon as a channel, if you don't realize it's the top customer acquisition channel with hundreds of millions of Americans sitting there with their credit cards ready…. that's fine. If you want to choose a team of eCommerce experts to do every aspect of Amazon for your business; for the cost of a strong full-time employee or two…. If you're a big brand that needs more help than automated tech or trying to figure it out in-house that's your call. Straight Up Growth = Amazon 📈 is here if you want to make another $5M this year. Thank you! We’re also #hiring proactively to keep up with our growth. Hit me up soon if you want in now, the waitlist is just getting longer and longer!
