A day in the life
As the end-to-end owner of a partnership you wear all the hats within the business

No two days look the same in this role. One morning you're on a call with a partner reviewing activation concepts; the afternoon is spent in a creative review with your agency partner on campaign assets. The next day you're presenting a partnership performance narrative to Marketing leadership and writing your strategy narrative for the year ahead.
You are equally comfortable in the relationship work and the execution work

You understand the partners deeply and can guide the relationship to be mutually beneficial for both parties. You keep AWS marketing and storytelling in mind throughout your day-to-day enabling you to have quick and measurable decisions. You know when to push a partner and when to flex, and you can translate a rights package into a campaign strategy without needing someone else to connect the dots.
You will work closely with creatives, data analysts, product marketers, communications leads, and senior executives

You bring structure to complex partner ecosystems, thrive in fast-moving environments, and get energized by both stewarding an established portfolio and building what comes next. You are excited to shape the entertainment playbook on a team with a strong track record of world-class partnership marketing.
