Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking an experienced Partner Development Manager to accelerate the adoption of AWS AI and Agentic AI tools across our Worldwide Public Sector National Systems Integrator (NSI) partner ecosystem. This position is part of the AWS Worldwide Public Sector (WWPS) Partner Organization. Our team works at the intersection of cloud technology and the public sector mission—partnering with National Systems Integrators (NSIs) to deliver innovative solutions for government, defense, education, nonprofit, and healthcare customers. We drive adoption of AWS services by enabling our partners to build differentiated capabilities that accelerate our customers’ missions.
In this role, you will develop and execute strategies that drive NSI partners to embed AI-driven development practices into their customer delivery engagements, internal solution development, and operational tooling—while also building joint go-to-market motions that bring agentic AI solutions to market for partner product development teams and end users.
You will be a trusted advisor to partners across all levels—from technical delivery teams building with AWS AI services to C-suite executives evaluating AI strategies and finance leaders assessing ROI. You will define solution-oriented offerings, develop pipeline, and drive adoption by selling to, through, and with NSI partners. The ideal candidate combines deep technical fluency in software development and AI/ML, with the business acumen to articulate the financial case for AI transformation to partner executives. Critically, the ideal candidate has a builder mentality that thrives on creating new motions from scratch.
