Sr. Worldwide Partner Specialist - Database & Analytics, Data & AI GTM

The Partner GTM organization within AWS is seeking a Partner Programs Strategy Lead to architect, scale, and orchestrate the end-to-end partner journey for Data & AI across AWS. This role is central to designing the strategic frameworks, programs, and resources that enable partner success throughout their Data & AI journey with AWS. You will be responsible for identifying gaps in the current partner experience, securing cross-organizational investments, and building scalable mechanisms that drive awareness and adoption of the partner journey through both direct partner engagement and field enablement. This is a highly strategic role requiring exceptional program design capabilities, stakeholder management skills, and the ability to orchestrate complex initiatives across multiple AWS organizations including Partner Core, field teams, and product groups. You'll serve as the architect of the partner journey, ensuring we have the right programs and resources in place—whether self-managed by our team or delivered through partnerships with other AWS initiatives—to support our preferred partners' success in Data & AI. A critical component of this role is creating and executing a comprehensive scaling and adoption plan that reaches partners through multiple channels: direct partner engagement, PDM (Partner Development Manager) and PDS (Partner Development Specialist) enablement, regional team coordination, and innovative GenAI tools and interfaces that streamline partner access to journey resources. Additionally, you will be the external face of AWS Data & AI partner programs, serving as a thought leader who continuously refines our approach based on market research, customer insights, and partner feedback.
