Sr. Partner Development Manager - SAP, AWS Partner COE Technology

About the role

This position is part of the AWS Specialist and Partner Organization (ASP). Specialists own the end-to-end go-to-market strategy for their respective technology domains, providing the business and technical expertise to help our customers succeed. Partner teams own the strategy, recruiting, development, and growth of our key technology and consulting partners. Together they provide our customers with the expertise and scale needed to build innovative solutions for their most complex challenges.

We work backwards from our customer's most complex and business critical problems to build and execute go-to-market plans that turn AWS ideas into multi-billion-dollar businesses. As part of ASP, you'll provide expertise across the entire life cycle of an AWS customer initiative, from developing ideas for new services and offerings, to accelerating the adoption of established partner products, partner solutions, and differentiated AWS offerings. We pride ourselves on thinking big, delivering exceptional results for our customers, and working across AWS as #OneTeam.

Within ASP, this position is part of the worldwide SAP Partnership team, where you will lead the global partnership and development and execution of the GTM plan for AWS for SAP - and companion AWS services. The WW team sees the big picture and sets the plan so the world's most customer obsessed technical teams can make history. You are the program leader for specialists, architects, partners, and account teams around the world and set direction and standards for how we solve customer problems in your domain. You partner with technical and business teams across AWS and bring the voice of the customer into our product development roadmap and to our routes to market (sales, marketing, and partners).

AWS and SAP have been collaborating since SAP became a customer in 2008. Together, we have certified AWS to support most SAP solutions, brought purpose built EC2 instances to market to support SAP customer needs, and helped SAP leverage AWS services to power a number of their SaaS and PaaS offerings like Concur, SuccessFactors (for government agencies), HANA Cloud Platform, Signavio and SAP Analytics Cloud. AWS has been supporting SAP workloads for customers longer than any other cloud provider (since 2011), and thousands of customers run their SAP ERP and adjacent business-critical systems on AWS today using RISE, traditional perpetual license, and hybrid deployment models.
