About The Position

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a results-driven Partner Account Manager to own and grow a portfolio of Global Defense Technology Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) within our Worldwide Public Sector (WWPS) organization. In this role, you will serve as the primary business owner for a strategic book of ISV partners building mission-critical solutions for U.S. Defense customers — spanning global Civilian, Defense and National Security verticals.
