Indirect and Greenfield Leader, APJ

Description AWS is where innovation, risks, and ideas are celebrated. We are builders, we try new things, and imagine big dreams. It is still Day 1 for us, and we are looking for curious and passionate people to be part of our diverse teams of thinkers, testers, and doers. Come join us and work with the latest cloud technologies that enable our customers to adopt cloud-based solutions. At AWS, we refer to ourselves as builders. We are looking for more builders to join our growing and diverse teams within the Cloud Sales Center (CSC). AWS is committed to be the most customer obsessed organization on the planet. As the Sr Mgr, APJ CSC-Partner Success, you will lead a team who will digitally modernize our AWS sales reps’ engagements with partners. You will build and execute Amazon mechanisms (which involves process and tools creation and implementation) to solve problems and increase partner engagement rates of AWS sales reps within the APJ Cloud Sales Center teams. Your primary responsibilities are to create and continuously iterate the mechanisms you are assigned. You will have the exciting opportunity to work cross-functionally and cross-geographically to identify problems and gaps, collect and analyze data, generate insights, come up with solutions/mechanisms, and implement them. You will work closely with internal stakeholders across different functions and levels to help in the ‘digital transformation’ of our AWS sales force. You will also work closely with our sales teams and the AWS partner ecosystem to remove blockers and deliver value to our customers.
