Amazon Hiring Executives for Asia Satellite Internet Push

Amazon.com Inc. is looking to hire government sales leads in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, laying the groundwork for its satellite internet business in East Asia.

Amazon Kuiper, the Seattle-based company’s satellite unit, is advertising roles for government solutions managers to cover the three major economies. The winning candidates will be expected to build high-performing teams, according to the job postings. Taiwanese officials had said in December that they are in talks with Project Kuiper for collaboration.
