A day in the life
A typical day as a Managed Services Partner SA involves joining architecture review calls to validate partner solution designs and writing code samples and integration guides for their engineering teams.

You will conduct hands-on workshops demonstrating AWS service integration patterns and collaborate with peer AWS teams on partner opportunities.

Strategic conversations with partner product managers, CPOs, and CTOs help align roadmaps. You create demo environments showcasing joint solutions and present them directly to partner customers, while serving as a critical feedback channel to AWS service teams based on partner requirements.
