Own and grow AWS's most strategic German Defence Industrial Base (DIB) partnerships. As a Partner Account Manager on the AWS Worldwide Public Sector (WWPS) Global Defence Partners team, you are the single-threaded business owner for a portfolio of German DIB partners - defence-sector systems integrators, consulting partners, and technology partners running global mission programs - aligned to GDP's Global Account Manager (GAM) construct.
You will individually drive significant revenue across sophisticated Aerospace & Defence, national security, and mission-program customers. Owning the partner relationship end-to-end, you'll shape how AWS cloud and AI capabilities - AI/ML, HPC, advanced analytics, digital engineering, and manufacturing modernization - map to partners' most complex workloads, and translate that into value propositions that resonate with defence stakeholders.
This is not a traditional account-management role. It requires hands-on cloud fluency, value-based selling, and the ability to operate independently and earn trust with both technical practitioners and executives across complex, multi-domain engagements. This is an individual-contributor role with regional business leadership for a portfolio of German DIB partners.
Key job responsibilities
Sell & grow revenue Own end-to-end revenue growth, executive alignment, and joint mission outcomes for your assigned German DIB accounts. Apply value-based selling - business-case development, ROI analysis, customer references - to expand each partner's AWS consumption and win co-sell opportunities across defence end-customers. Build and execute a multi-year strategic sales plan; maintain accurate pipeline and forecast with disciplined rigor.
Manage the partnership Drive CxO-level relationships and executive sponsorship with assigned partners. Own joint business planning - shared goals, joint GTM motions, co-sell targets - and drive execution through regular cadence and interlock. Accelerate partner enablement, certification, and competency attainment (AWS Partner Network / co-sell programs and, where applicable, Marketplace and private offers) to grow partner-sourced and partner-influenced revenue. Lead joint pursuits by orchestrating AWS Account Executives, Partner Solutions Architects, and SMEs to close high-value opportunities.
Bring defence expertise & navigate public sector Bring deep defence-industry expertise - prime/sub and teaming relationships, mission-critical and classified workflows, sovereignty and accreditation requirements, and A&D operational constraints. Navigate public-sector procurement and contracting vehicles to position AWS and partner solutions for competitive wins. Deliver executive business reviews; escalate roadblocks quickly to maintain deal momentum.
A day in the life
You might start the day in a boardroom, aligning a partner's CxO on a joint mission roadmap and securing executive sponsorship. By lunch, you're whiteboarding with Solutions Architects and partner engineers to map AWS cloud and AI to a mission-critical workload, then pressure-testing the business case for a co-sell win. In the Afternoon: rallying the extended AWS team to unblock an accreditation milestone, then prepping an executive business review.
You move fluidly between boardroom and build environment - turning mission outcomes into revenue. If you want your work to matter where the mission does, this is your seat.
About the team
GDP is AWS WWPS' mission-focused partner sales organization. We don't just sell cloud - we help defence partners turn mission outcomes into revenue. Executing WWPS-Partner's 2026 priorities - Global Defence Expansion and Expanding Disruptive Defence Partners - we deepen AWS's footprint across national security and defence while backing the partners reinventing how defence gets built. You'll join a hand-picked team with backgrounds spanning DoD, intelligence, IT operations, and product management, united by customer obsession that starts at the warfighter and a bias to earn trust through results, not activity. If the mission matters to you, so will this team.
