Full Time

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for an experienced Partner Development Manager to drive AWS Marketplace adoption across our Australia and New Zealand Public Sector partner community. As a Partner Development Manager within AWS WWPS ANZ, you will help partners transact more of their business through AWS Marketplace, unlock the co-sell benefits and funding available through AWS Partner Network programs, and equip AWS teams and partners to have effective Marketplace conversations with public sector customers.
This is a partner-facing role. You will build relationships directly with partner executives and their operational leads, coach them through eligibility and compliance work, and represent their perspective back into AWS. You will work closely with our Partner Managers, AWS's global Partner Programs, ISV Accelerate, and Marketplace teams to remove blockers, unlock partner eligibility, and equip AWS sellers with the tools they need.
The ideal candidate has a background in partner programs, channel operations, or partner business development in technology or cloud markets. This role operates at breadth across many partners rather than depth on a small book of accounts, so you are comfortable managing many partners, deals, and program requirements in parallel while keeping precise attention to detail on compliance and eligibility work. You are comfortable diagnosing root causes of operational and commercial issues, deciding remediation paths independently, and influencing across teams to unblock progress. You bring analytical and operational rigour to program measurement and a bias toward operational excellence.
Key job responsibilities
- Drive AWS Marketplace adoption across the Australian and New Zealand Public Sector partner base. Prioritise partners by revenue impact, help them list their solutions on Marketplace, meet the required compliance, and start transacting through AWS Marketplace.
- Keep ANZ Public Sector partners enrolled in and eligible for the AWS Partner Network programs that unlock co-sell benefits and funding, including ISV Accelerate, Foundational Technical Review, and Partner Revenue Measurement. Spot partners at risk of losing eligibility, diagnose the cause, and fix it before it hits revenue.
- Enable AWS teams and partners to have Marketplace conversations with ANZ public sector customers. Build ANZ-specific enablement content and the customer-facing materials the sales teams use directly with public sector customers.
- Work with AWS's global Partner Programs, ISV Accelerate, and Marketplace teams. Bring ANZ Public Sector priorities into their roadmap and timeline decisions.
- Measure Marketplace adoption across the ANZ Public Sector partner base and report progress, risks, and recommendations at Monthly and Quarterly Business Reviews.
