Key job responsibilities
Migration & Modernization
• Help assigned partners plan and deliver migration and modernization work, including assessments, landing zones, and moves to containers, serverless and managed databases.
• Support partners through AWS Competency and Service Delivery validations, and through Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) engagements.
• Provide architecture guidance and technical reviews on partner-led customer opportunities, and help solve technical blockers.
• Help partners package successful projects into repeatable offerings, for example Windows/.NET, VMware or database modernization.
AI Acceleration

• Build proofs of concept, demos and reference architectures with partner engineers, following good practices for security, cost and responsible AI.
• Help qualify and support partner-led AI opportunities as customers move from pilots toward production.
• Show partners how AI and modernization fit together, for example AI-assisted code transformation and data foundations for AI.
Across both focus areas
• Own the technical relationship with an assigned partner portfolio. Build trust with partner architects, engineers and practice leads.
• Deliver enablement such as workshops, immersion days and hackathons, and help partners plan AWS certifications.
• Contribute to team assets such as playbooks, solution blueprints and enablement content that other PSAs and partners can reuse.
• Collect partner and customer feedback and share it with AWS service teams and program owners.
Share what you learn through blogs, partner events and AWS Summit or community sessions.
A day in the life
A morning might start with a technical review of a partner's migration plan for a manufacturing customer, followed by a call with the AWS account team to agree on next steps. After lunch, you might sit with a partner's engineers to build a Bedrock-based chatbot proof of concept, then prepare content for next week's AI immersion day.
You'll work closely with senior PSAs and specialist SAs, who will support you on complex engagements while you build depth. Over time you'll take on bigger partners and more complex opportunities. You'll travel within ASEAN to meet partners in person.
