AWS Partner Development Manager

Remote, USA; San Mateo, CA

About Us:

At Fireworks, we’re building the future of generative AI infrastructure. Our platform delivers the highest-quality models with the fastest and most scalable inference in the industry. We’ve been independently benchmarked as the leader in LLM inference speed and are driving cutting-edge innovation through projects like our own function calling and multimodal models. Fireworks is a Series C company valued at $4 billion and backed by top investors including Benchmark, Sequoia, Lightspeed, Index, and Evantic. We’re an ambitious, collaborative team of builders, founded by veterans of Meta PyTorch and Google Vertex AI.

The Role

Fireworks AI has an established AWS partnership and is now building the field motion that converts it into enterprise revenue. This role owns that execution: co-sell pipeline, partner events, and the joint GTM programs that earn Fireworks AI a seat in AWS field deals before they are already decided. The weight sits on origination - getting in front of the right account teams, building trust, and creating the conditions for large deals to move.

What You'll Own

Source and Close Co-Sell Pipeline

  • Run joint account mapping with AWS PDMs to surface Fireworks-adjacent workloads in active enterprise accounts.
  • Register co-sell opportunities in ACE; own each from qualification to close working alongside Fireworks AEs.
  • Lead high-touch engagement on priority accounts: joint calls, on-sites, and executive introductions with AWS field sellers.
  • Track pipeline velocity and AWS-influenced revenue; flag stalled deals to VP with a clear recommended action.

Partner Events and Follow-Up

  • Own Fireworks AI presence at AWS Summits, re:Invent, and regional field events: meeting strategy, priorities, and speaker submissions.
  • Build pre-event target lists with AWS PDMs and execute outreach in the 4 weeks before each event.
  • Convert post-event meetings to ACE registrations and AE handoffs within 5 business days - no leads left to go cold.
  • Track event-sourced pipeline per activation; report attribution to VP and feed results into future event planning.

Build the AWS GTM Motion

  • Author joint solution briefs targeting enterprise AI inference use cases on AWS; get AWS SA sign-off before publishing.
  • Develop co-sell plays for key verticals - financial services, healthcare, tech - mapped to specific AWS SA coverage.
  • Build Fireworks AI presence in Bedrock and SageMaker-adjacent workflows through co-built reference architectures.
  • Coordinate with Fireworks marketing on AWS-specific demand generation and co-marketing assets.

Operationalize and Measure

  • Own Fireworks AI AWS Marketplace metrics: trial conversions, CPPO transactions, and revenue attribution.
  • Maintain a shared pipeline dashboard visible to both Fireworks and AWS stakeholders; review at each QBR.
  • Identify and submit MAP and co-invest funding proposals; manage them through to approval and execution.
  • Surface blockers in product positioning, tier standing, or program gaps to VP with proposed fixes.

Maintain and Grow the Relationship

  • Run quarterly business reviews with AWS PDMs and leadership; arrive with pipeline data, win stories, and next-quarter commitments.
  • Expand Fireworks AI contacts beyond the primary PDM: AWS SAs, ISV team leadership, and Marketplace team.
  • Track changes in AWS program terms, co-sell incentives, and tier requirements; adapt Fireworks positioning ahead of the curve.
  • Maintain an internal AWS relationship map - contacts, roles, last meaningful interaction - updated each quarter.

Who You Are

You have sourced real pipeline from the AWS field - self-generated, not handed to you. AWS AEs and PDMs in multiple regions know your name because you have worked deals with them, and they would take your call today. You have closed large enterprise deals through the AWS co-sell channel and can walk through how those deals moved - who the account team was, what unlocked them, and what you did when they stalled.

You have sold technical products to technical buyers. You are comfortable in a room with AWS Solutions Architects or a customer VP of Engineering without a pre-sales resource next to you. You know the AWS partner programs well enough that you do not need to be briefed on how ACE, ISV Accelerate, or Marketplace work. You are comfortable stepping into an existing motion and making it faster, not starting from zero.

What You Bring

  • 6-8 years in cloud partnerships, ISV alliances, or field sales with AWS as the primary motion - not one of several cloud relationships.
  • Closed large enterprise deals through the AWS co-sell channel with verifiable named accounts; deal size and complexity consistent with strategic enterprise AI.
  • Deep working knowledge of APN programs, ISV Accelerate co-sell terms, AWS Marketplace and CPPO, and ACE pipeline tooling.
  • Has sold a technically complex product and can engage with AWS SAs and technical buyers without needing a pre-sales translator.
  • Has planned, staffed, and followed up from major AWS field events - Summit, re:Invent - and can show the pipeline that came from them.

Bonus

  • Has a pre-existing network inside AWS enterprise and startup-focused sales teams in key US markets - contacts ready to engage on day one.
  • Has experience navigating an AWS co-sell motion where the product was newer and less established - had to earn credibility, not ride existing demand.
  • Has been part of a joint AWS solution that got featured in an AWS case study, Marketplace listing, or field playbook.

Total compensation for this role also includes meaningful equity in a fast-growing startup, along with a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package. Base salary is determined by a range of factors including individual qualifications, experience, skills, interview performance, market data, and work location. The listed salary range is intended as a guideline and may be adjusted.

$275,000 - $315,000 USD

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
