COMPANY OPERATING RHYTHM At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance. Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do. Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5. Deepgram is looking for a Senior Partner Manager to own and grow our AWS alliance alongside the existing AWS alliance team. AWS is Deepgram's largest and most strategic partnership and it spans co-sell, co-build and co-market. This is the third seat on that team, with a specific mandate: build the enterprise relationships that turn the partnership into revenue, starting with healthcare and financial services. You will work with AWS field and specialist teams and their enterprise accounts, drive joint pipeline through ACE and AWS Marketplace, and pull AWS into Deepgram deals as a closing lever. Internally, you will work as closely with our product, engineering, and sales teams as you do with AWS; co-building on AWS services, enabling our sellers, and making sure what the partnership needs from Deepgram actually gets built. This is a builder's role on a small team. While our AWS relationship is very strong, there is still tremendous room for growth. You will also own a portfolio of partnerships outside AWS although AWS is the priority. We also expect you to be AI-first in how you work. Deepgram builds voice AI; the people representing it should be running their own work on AI to do research, account planning, content, analysis, reporting What you'll do - Own a co-sell number for the AWS partnership and the plan to hit it. - Build and hold senior relationships across the AWS field and specialist orgs — Account Managers, Solutions Architects, Partner Managers, and industry/GenAI specialists — in the enterprise segment, with an early focus on healthcare and financial services. - Source, register, and drive joint opportunities through ACE; keep pipeline hygiene and attribution clean so joint wins are visible to both companies. - Transact through AWS Marketplace — listings, private offers, channel partner private offers — and make Marketplace the default path for AWS-aligned deals. - Bring AWS into Deepgram sales cycles as a closing lever: funding and credits, solutions architecture support, and executive support. - Co-build: work with Deepgram product and engineering on integrations across AWS services, and carry partner and customer feedback back into the roadmap with enough specificity to be actionable. - Co-market: run joint campaigns, webinars, events, and roadshows with AWS; own MDF. - Enable both sides: teach Deepgram sellers how to work with AWS, and teach AWS teams where Deepgram wins and how to position us. - Build the vertical motion in healthcare and financial services.
