About the role
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking an experienced Senior Partner Marketing Manager to own the Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partner marketing strategy for Public Sector while also managing a dedicated portfolio of prioritized partners. This is a unique opportunity to shape how AWS's most strategic partners go to market in one of the fastest-growing and most complex customer segments — spanning Federal, Defense, State & Local Government, Education, and Global Government. In this role, you will drive partner-led marketing strategy that accelerates demand generation for Public Sector customers. You'll develop joint value propositions, drive partner-led campaigns, and ensure strategies are tightly aligned to Public Sector customer needs — including regulatory, procurement, and mission-specific requirements.

Our team operates globally and collaborates closely with AWS Public Sector sales, solution architects, industry marketing, and partner marketing teams.
