2. MDF and funding tracking

- Track Market Development Funds (MDF) and other co-funding programs across AWS and GCP.
- Maintain a tracker of funds claimed, approved, utilized and pending.

- Flag unused or expiring funds early so the business can use them.

3. Program and policy tracking

- Monitor changes to AWS and GCP partner programs, incentives, competencies / specializations, funding policies and portal workflows.
- Summarize relevant updates and brief leadership, sales and marketing, with suggested actions.
- Track eligibility and requirements for partner tiers, competencies, and programs such as migration and AI/GenAI initiatives.

- Prepare internal reports for leadership on pipeline hygiene, funding utilization, program opportunities and risks.
- Prepare input for business reviews with AWS and GCP.

5. Stakeholder co-ordination

- Work with AWS and GCP partner and account managers, and with internal sales, marketing, finance and delivery teams.
- Escalate stuck approvals, rejected claims and portal issues, and follow up until resolved.
- Prepare for future expansion to Azure and set up processes and templates that can be reused across clouds.

Requirements:

- 2-5 years of experience in partner operations, alliance operations, sales operations, or a similar back-end role, preferably in a cloud services, IT services or SaaS company.
