LangChain LangChain · Data AI · San Francisco, CA · Partnerships

This role is a senior individual contributor focused on managing and growing cloud alliances with AWS and GCP.

  3. Build and maintain strong working relationships with alliance managers, ISV partner teams, and cloud field sellers at AWS and GCP
  4. Collaborate with LangChain's sales, solutions engineering, and marketing teams to equip them for cloud co-sell motions and identify accounts where the cloud angle creates leverage
  5. Collaborate with marketing to execute impactful co-branded campaigns, events, and content that generate pipeline and strengthen market positioning.
