This position is part of the AWS Specialist and Partner Organization (ASP). Specialists own the end-to-end go-to-market strategy for their respective technology domains, providing the business and technical expertise to help our customers succeed. Partner teams own the strategy, recruiting, development, and growth of our key technology and consulting partners. Together they provide our customers with the expertise and scale needed to build innovative solutions for their most complex challenges.
Are you a customer-obsessed builder with a passion for shaping how software, data, and AI-powered solutions are discovered, purchased, and deployed at scale? Do you have the technical depth, AWS Marketplace fluency, and partner ecosystem experience to influence product direction and drive feature adoption across a global community of sellers and buyers? Join the AWS Marketplace Business Development team to help define and launch the next generation of Marketplace capabilities.
At Amazon Web Services (AWS), we are hiring a Sr. Technical Business Development Manager to serve as the connective tissue between our seller and buyer ecosystem - including ISVs, channel partners, and consulting partners - and the AWS Marketplace product and engineering teams. You will own the full lifecycle of feature development and adoption, from early-stage validation through launch and beyond, and serve as an external ambassador for Marketplace at partner conferences, industry events, and community forums.
This is not a traditional sales or business development role. You will operate with the rigor of a product manager and the external credibility of a seasoned partner advocate, driving alignment across engineering, product, field sales, legal, and tax teams to ensure that what we build resonates with the market and achieves measurable adoption.

A day in the life
No two days look the same. You might spend your morning in a product review, presenting beta feedback from software vendors and consulting partners and recommending roadmap adjustments. By midday, you are briefing a partner executive on a feature launching next quarter - a new transaction model, an AI agent listing capability, or a channel program update. In the afternoon, you are on stage at a partner conference representing Marketplace to hundreds of vendors and service providers. You close the day tracking adoption signals and routing friction patterns back to the product team. This role rewards curiosity and comfort with ambiguity in equal measure.
About the team
AWS Marketplace is a curated digital catalog where companies find, buy, deploy, and manage third-party software, services, data, and AI agent solutions to run their businesses - serving everyone from fast-growing startups to the world"s largest enterprises. The team you will join is focused on making sure that what Marketplace builds actually works for the people who use it. You will work alongside product managers, engineers, field sellers, and a broad partner ecosystem - acting as the voice of the market internally and the voice of Marketplace externally. Our mission is to make AWS Marketplace the preferred destination for discovering and deploying solutions at scale, and the preferred channel for software vendors, service providers, and data sellers to reach AWS customers.
Diverse Experiences
AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply.
