Solution Partner Development Specialist, EMEA Solution PDS
DESCRIPTION
**This role can be based in any of EMEA cities where AWS has an office**
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a world class partner and alliance leader to join the EMEA Partner Specialists team to lead the build, discovery, and adoption of Partner Solutions in EMEA.
AWS Sales, Marketing, and Global Services (SMGS) is responsible for driving revenue, adoption, and growth from the largest and fastest growing small- and mid-market accounts to enterprise-level customers including public sector. The AWS Global Support team interacts with leading companies and believes that world-class support is critical to customer success. AWS Support also partners with a global list of customers that are building mission-critical applications on top of AWS services.
As a Partner Development Specialist (PDS) for Solutions, you will have an exciting opportunity to deliver on our strategy to accelerate partner revenue through solution adoption within our GTM initiatives for Line of Business (LoB) buyers. EMEA is a land of buyers - customers face challenges identifying and implementing viable use cases to move to production, especially those with a "buy" versus "build" culture. This creates opportunities for AWS partners to absorb the "build" effort through horizontal and vertical LoB solutions and applications independently of the AWS technology used. Partners who embrace this turnkey mindset are critical to increase the likelihood of a production deployment for many of our customers. As EMEA solution PDS, you will own mechanisms for partner solution building, solution visibility and adoption, to offer ready-made solutions to customers looking to buy, not build.
In this role, you will be responsible for facilitating collaborative solution development, and delivering innovative solutions that address our customers' most pressing needs.
