Program Manager, Public Sector Competencies & Partner Engagement, WW Public Sector Partner Core

This position is part of the AWS Specialist and Partner (ASP) Organization,
within the WW Public Sector partner programs team. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is
seeking a strategic and execution-oriented Program Manager, PS Scale Capability
Programs & Partner Engagement to manage day-to-day operations across two
interconnected work streams: (1) the strategy and operations of AWS Public Sector
(PS) Competencies, and (2) marketing and events strategy for PS Scale Capability
Programs.

AWS Public Sector Competencies recognize AWS Partners who deliver validated,
mission-critical solutions for governments, educational institutions, and
nonprofits—including the AWS Government Competency, AWS Education Competency,
and AWS Nonprofit Competency. These designations help customers instantly
identify vetted vendors with specialized expertise in security, compliance, and
large-scale public sector procurement.

This role will support the planning and execution of PS Competencies strategy
and operations, helping define the strategic direction for how these
competencies deliver value to public sector partners. The ideal candidate will
evaluate the current program construct, including existing benefits and
processes, and shape the go-forward strategy for program applications, partner
requirements, and benefit delivery. They will also own operational excellence
for the program, refining processes to increase efficiency and leveraging AI
tools to automate workflows and scale impact.

In addition to PS Competencies program ownership, this role carries marketing
responsibilities for the broader PS Scale Capability Programs portfolio. The
successful candidate will plan and execute on-site events, develop program
collateral, author blog posts and case studies, and drive measurable business
outcomes through integrated marketing motions across PS Scale Capability
Programs—not limited to competencies alone. They will work cross-functionally
with marketing, program, sales, and in-geo teams to coordinate across
stakeholders and deliver results. This is a unique opportunity to play a key
role in one of AWS's most impactful partner recognition programs while building
a marketing engine that drives awareness, engagement, and partner growth across
the PS Scale Capability Programs portfolio.
