Partner Director

The Role

Strategy is building a high-velocity, independent partner-revenue engine, and we are seeking an elite, execution-focused AWS Partner Manager. This is not an administrative alliance role; you are a revenue-producing builder.

Mandate

Execute a programmatic Mosaic AI Attach Strategy to drive net-new partner-sourced pipeline, while evangelizing the "Trifecta" modern data stack architecture directly to AWS field sales teams and enterprise customers.

Core Responsibilities

• Programmatic Field Execution & Mosaic AI Attach (50%)

  • Field Co-Selling Mechanics: Actively map and build high-impact relationships with AWS field sellers, including Partner Development Managers (PDMs), ISV Success Managers, and Enterprise Account Executives.
  • The Attach Strategy: Educate AWS field teams on how attaching Strategy Mosaic AI to their deals accelerates customer data projects and helps customers retire their massive annual AWS cloud spend commitments (EDP/MADA) via the AWS Marketplace.
  • Deal Ingestion & Mapping: Execute programmatic, account-level mapping against top-tier enterprise target accounts to discover net-new joint pipeline opportunities.

• Evangelizing the "Trifecta" Architecture (30%)

  • Solution Positioning: Successfully pitch the modern data stack "Trifecta" architecture to technical and business stakeholders: Data Storage/Gravity (AWS Redshift/S3/Bedrock) + Open-Source Orchestration (Kestra) + Semantic Visualization & GenAI Safety (Strategy Mosaic AI).
  • Joint Marketing & Field Enablement: Leverage Marketing Development Funds (MDF) to execute hyper-targeted, local co-selling events and workshops that bring AWS AEs, Kestra champions, and Strategy teams together to solve complex enterprise AI challenges.

• Operational Governance & Pipeline Hygiene (20%)

  • ACE Portal Optimization: Own the day-to-day management and validation of the AWS Co-Sell Incentive (ACE) portal to ensure precise sourcing attribution, high data hygiene, and frictionless routing for your active pipeline.
  • Protecting Operational Boundaries: Guard team velocity by enforcing strict operational borders. You will step in to drive strategic alliance leverage after an inbound opportunity is validated as an active co-sell play, while core AE teams and Sales Ops handle individual private offer generation (CPPO paperwork/MPOP forms).

Qualifications

• AWS Alliance Expertise: 5+ years of enterprise software partner management or cloud co-selling experience, with deep, hands-on knowledge of the AWS field sales organization, marketplace mechanics, and ACE portal workflows.
• Revenue Mindset: Proven track record of hitting and exceeding partner-sourced pipeline and revenue quotas. You talk in terms of ACV, close rates, and pipeline velocity, not just "partner meetings."
• Technical DNA: Clear understanding of the Modern Data Stack (MDS), data warehousing (Redshift, Snowflake), cloud orchestration tools (Kestra), and enterprise AI/LLM integration patterns.
• The "Execution" Mentality: Highly organized self-starter who thrives in building processes from scratch. You write your own scripts, run your own account-mapping sessions, and know how to clear operational roadblocks independently.
• Bachelor's Degree (or equivalent work experience), MBA preferred.
• 10+ years' experience in Sales Leadership - Account, Alliance, or Partner Management.
• Proven experience in the management of large global or regional system integrator partnerships.
• Strong relationship and sales skills, knowing what we sell and how people want to buy using experience from directly selling for a while and know what it takes to be a phenomenal influencer in partnerships.
• Channel experience including selling with or managing channel partners.
• High level of energy, grit, engagement, proactivity and commitment to attaining personal and company goals.
• Proven ability to work independently and with cross-functional teams to achieve company and team objectives.
• Attention to detail and the ability to plan and execute are essential.
• Strong business acumen and capable of developing and managing strategic plans with partner and company executives.
• Strategic planning and analytic capabilities.
• Ability to anticipate and interpret market and business trend changes and advise business leaders accordingly.
• Ability to excel in a team environment, espousing cooperation, and mutual respect.
• Demonstrated ability to work in a virtual and matrix environment.
• Proven ability to manage a myriad of different disciplines and tasks in a high-pressure, time-sensitive environment.
• 25% or more travel within North America.
• Strong communication (written and verbal) and presentation skills.
