Description Amazon is seeking an experienced Portfolio Manager to support the growth of our Amazon Web Services (AWS) Strategic Partnership Collaboration & Governance team.

This person will play an active role in analyzing partner performance, creating scaled delivery templates, and then driving AWS builders, stakeholders, and SMEs to achieve goals. As Portfolio Manager, you will collect data from multiple sources - including AWS internal and partners - and compile it into a digestible and actionable format.

You will track key performance indicators to help support the portfolio and ensure sustainability. You will communicate portfolio status updates to stakeholders and business leaders. You will be comfortable in a fast-paced, multi-tasked, high energy environment, and will be a creative and analytical problem solver with a passion for delivering results.
