Full Job Description
Deepgram is looking for a Senior Partner Manager to own and grow our AWS alliance alongside the existing AWS alliance team. AWS is Deepgram's largest and most strategic partnership and it spans co-sell, co-build and co-market. This is the third seat on that team, with a specific mandate: build the enterprise relationships that turn the partnership into revenue, starting with healthcare and financial services. You will work with AWS field and specialist teams and their enterprise accounts, drive joint pipeline through ACE and AWS Marketplace, and pull AWS into Deepgram deals as a closing lever. Internally, you will work as closely with our product, engineering, and sales teams as you do with AWS; co-building on AWS services, enabling our sellers, and making sure what the partnership needs from Deepgram actually gets built. This is a builder's role on a small team. While our AWS relationship is very strong, there is still tremendous room for growth. You will also own a portfolio of partnerships outside AWS although AWS is the priority. We also expect you to be AI-first in how you work. Deepgram builds voice AI; the people representing it should be running their own work on AI to do research, account planning, content, analysis, reporting What you'll do - Own a co-sell number for the AWS partnership and the plan to hit it. - Build and hold senior relationships across the AWS field and specialist orgs - Account Managers, Solutions Architects, Partner Managers, and industry/GenAI specialists - in the enterprise segment, with an early focus on healthcare and financial services. - Source, register, and drive joint opportunities through ACE; keep pipeline hygiene and attribution clean so joint wins are visible to both companies. - Transact through AWS Marketplace - listings, private offers, channel partner private offers - and make Marketplace the default path for AWS-aligned deals. - Bring AWS into Deepgram sales cycles as a closing lever: funding and credits, solutions architecture support, and executive support. - Co-build: work with Deepgram product and engineering on integrations across AWS services, and carry partner and customer feedback back into the roadmap with enough specificity to be actionable. - Co-market: run joint campaigns, webinars, events, and roadshows with AWS; own MDF. - Enable both sides: teach Deepgram sellers how to work with AWS, and teach AWS teams where Deepgram wins and how to position us. - Build the vertical motion in healthcare and financial services. Create joint use cases, reference architectures, messaging, and target account lists - Own a portfolio of partnerships beyond AWS - Report on partnership performance: pipeline, influenced revenue, Marketplace transactions What you bring - Substantial, hands-on experience managing an AWS partnership at a technology company. Co-sell and ACE, AWS Marketplace, competencies and program mechanics, and the AWS field org as it actually works. - A track record of carrying and hitting a number. Co-sell, partner-influenced, or direct quota. - Experience selling to or through the enterprise segment. Healthcare or financial services experience is a strong plus. - Builder mindset: you have stood a partnership motion up from zero, not only operated one you inherited. - Startup experience and genuine comfort in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment. You are a self-starter who does not wait for process to be handed to you. - Entrepreneurial instincts- you find the opening, make the internal case for it, and go execute. - Technical fluency: you can hold a credible architecture conversation with an AWS Solutions Architect and translate it for a seller. - Strong written and verbal communication, and the presence to be credible with AWS and Deepgram executives. - AI-first working style: you use AI tools daily to compress research, account planning, content, and analysis, and you can show how that changes your output - A proven cross-functional operator- comfortable driving work through product, engineering, sales, marketing, legal, and finance without direct authority. It would be great if you also had - Located in Seattle - Time spent at AWS or another hyperscaler, or managing a second hyperscaler alliance. - Experience working with global and regional systems integrators on joint delivery. - A strong understanding of AI, speech recognition, voice agents, or related domains. - Fluency with Salesforce, AWS Partner Central, and Marketplace operations tooling.
