Description

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a world class partner leader to manage strategic AWS storage and infrastructure partners. As a Global Alliance Manager within AWS, you will have the exciting opportunity to deliver on our strategy to accelerate adoption of AWS cloud computing services through partner solutions.

We are always looking to improve and we also recognize there are many ways to lead and partner. We’re looking for a Think Big leader who can add to our company skillset by bringing their unique domain and industry knowledge and creativity to our organization.

At Amazon, we live our professional lives by the Leadership Principals. When we hire, we look for those who are Amazonian rather than for someone who fits an exact resume mold. To us, diversity in thought and experience is a good thing. We are hiring for attitude and training for skill because we recognize success takes many paths. While possessing the above criteria would be helpful, if you have a passion for customer success - we want to talk to you. We are looking for someone who can help us create the next version of what it means to be a great partner to our ISVs.

We will coach the right fit. Responsibilities will include driving relationships with your partner organization at C-level, BU/Line of Business and field leadership, and with the broader AWS team, to execute new solution development and go-to-market (GTM) initiatives WW. You will be responsible for overall market adoption of the resulting partner solutions and driving top line revenue growth, by establishing and growing business and technical relationships while managing the day-to-day partner interactions.

The ideal candidate will have both a business background that enables them to engage at the CXO level, manage joint GTM efforts and to easily interact with enterprise customers and sales executives. This person should have a demonstrated ability to think strategically about business, product, and technical challenges, as well as build and convey compelling value propositions. The position also requires a strong technical acumen and familiarity with cloud services and in particular the High Technology vertical. Background in infrastructure and enterprise software and GTM for enterprise SaaS solutions is a plus.
