What is a partner development manager at AWS?

A Partner Development Manager (PDM) at AWS is responsible for building and nurturing relationships with AWS's partner organizations, such as independent software vendors (ISVs), system integrators, and consulting firms. Their primary goal is to help these partners grow their business on the AWS platform by providing guidance, resources, and support. PDMs work closely with partners to develop go-to-market strategies, drive joint business initiatives, and ensure partners are equipped to deliver cloud solutions to customers. They also collaborate with internal AWS teams to align partner activities with AWS's broader business objectives.
