Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a top-tier Partner Development Specialist to drive growth in our Amazon Bedrock business through strategic partnerships. As part of the Worldwide Data & AI GTM team, you will be responsible for developing and executing go-to-market strategies that accelerate the adoption of Amazon Bedrock — AWS's fully managed service for building and scaling generative AI applications using foundation models — across our customer segments via consulting (SI/GSI) and technology (ISV) partners.
You will work closely with partners to build Bedrock-powered solutions that leverage model access, Guardrails, Knowledge Bases, Agents, and fine-tuning capabilities, positioning AWS as the choice for enterprise generative AI workloads.
This role requires a unique blend of strategic thinking, technical depth in generative AI architectures, and business development acumen. You will help partners understand and capitalize on the Bedrock value proposition — including its broad selection of industry-leading foundation models, built-in safety and governance controls, and seamless integration with the AWS ecosystem for retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, and custom model development.
The ideal candidate will have experience creating, communicating, and driving successful partnership strategies at scale, ideally with a background in sales or business development within the AI/ML or cloud infrastructure space. You should possess a demonstrated ability to think strategically about business, product, and technical challenges — particularly around emerging generative AI patterns — and leverage data to uncover opportunities for Bedrock adoption and partner-led revenue growth.
