Full Job Description
In this role, you will own and operate large-scale startup programs end-to-end - driving process automation using AI tools, executing data-driven engagement strategies, and delivering measurable business impact. You will work at the intersection of program operations, technology, partners, and stakeholder coordination to ensure AWS remains the cloud platform of choice for startups globally.

This is a unique opportunity to shape how AWS engages with the startup investor ecosystem (VCs, accelerators, incubators) at scale. You will also play a key role in driving AWS cloud growth opportunities through programmatic engagement, referral motions, and AI-powered enablement workflows.

Key job responsibilities
• Own end-to-end program operations for scale startup programs, including onboarding workflows, campaign management, performance monitoring, and business reviews.
• Design and execute scale engagement motions (webinars, newsletters, office hours, partner communications) using data-driven prioritization and salesforce campaign management.
• Scale cloud migration programs by driving referral motions into AI migration experiences, coordinating with Operations on partner tooling, and enabling consulting partners to launch migration opportunities.
• Serve as human-in-the-loop for AI-driven partner engagement workflows - monitoring automated outreach, triaging escalations, and ensuring quality across high-volume partner communications.
• Design, build, and iterate AI-powered operational workflows to automate application triage, partner communications, data scoring, and reporting - reducing manual execution while insisting on the highest standards.
• Drive measurable business impact through credit program management, financial analysis, signup growth, and partner performance metrics.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Business Development, Product, Marketing, Finance, and Partner teams to align program execution with organizational goals.
• Drive process innovation and continuous improvement - identify automation opportunities, build scalable solutions, and document operational playbooks.

A day in the life

You will start your day reviewing automated application pipelines and partner performance dashboards. You might triage new provider applications using AI-assisted scoring, then shift to preparing a webinar. In the afternoon, you could be analyzing partner performance, drafting partner communications, or collaborating with engineering on a new automation workflow. You are empowered to make decisions that leverage cash and credits offers to maximize global startup customer acquisition, growth, and retention.
