You will serve as the primary point of contact for your ISV portfolio, earning trust through deep understanding of their business priorities and helping partners build sustainable businesses that deliver customer value on AWS while staying partner-centric in all activities, advocating for your partners within AWS, and accurately representing AWS within the partner's organization.
