A day in the life
On Monday you might review joint opportunities with a model provider's French leadership team and AWS AI specialists, and agree which large companies to approach together. You might then run an enablement session for AWS sellers on the partner's latest models and AI agent capabilities, or brief the partner's team on new AWS AI services. Midweek you might work with an AWS account manager to secure commercial and technical accelerators for a customer deal, such as funding, proof-of-concept support or specialist resources. Later you might design a joint offer with the head of a consulting firm's AI practice, or bring in an AWS sales leader to unblock a stalled deal. You might also plan an executive dinner for CEOs in one industry, such as banking, together with an AI lab and a leading consulting firm. At the end of the week you update your revenue forecast and prepare your quarterly business review.
