Partner Sales Manager, Startups

As a Partner Sales Manager focused on Startups in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and Chile, you will drive top-line revenue growth through the engagement of AWS Partners within the startup ecosystem across these key Latin American markets. You will play a critical role in accelerating the adoption of AWS services among high-growth startups by connecting them with the right AWS Partners to scale their businesses.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with the geo's most innovative and disruptive startups, many of which are building with the latest in AI technologies including generative AI, agentic systems, and foundation models on AWS.

The ideal candidate has experience in creating and delivering customer value by matching Partners' capabilities and solutions to the unique needs of startups — from early-stage to scale-ups. You should have a demonstrated ability to succeed by working with cross-organizational groups, thinking strategically about business and technical challenges in the startup landscape, and by building and conveying compelling value propositions around Partner capabilities tailored to fast-moving, resource-constrained environments


Key job responsibilities
Your broad responsibilities will include defining and executing strategies to achieve Partner and Sales organization goals within the Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and Chile startup segments, establishing business and technical relationships with Partners, Sales teams, and startup Customers across these markets, and managing the day-to-day interactions between these organizations to create opportunities that ultimately deliver value to AWS startup customers.

You will be expected to:

- Have a broad, holistic view of the AWS Partner community in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, and the broader Latin America region, with a deep understanding of partner capabilities and solutions that address startup-specific challenges (e.g., rapid scaling, cost optimization, go-to-market acceleration)

- Have a robust understanding of AWS Marketplace and ability to navigate procurement and finance relationships, including startup-friendly commercial models

- Advise Sales teams and engage directly with startup customers to drive the value of Partners, recommending qualified Partners that can meet and support the fast-paced needs of startups

- Manage Partner engagement in AWS startup accounts with a focus on business outcomes — expanding existing AWS footprint and originating new startup engagements with Partners to grow overall revenue

- Become a trusted member of the Sales team to develop and execute on joint Partner/Sales strategy for the startup segment, own opportunity execution with Partners, leverage Partner programs (including AWS Activate and ISV Accelerate), and coach Partners on startup engagement best practices
