Cloud Alliance Associate

Description

We are looking for a Cloud Alliance Associate to join Kloia’s Alliance Team and support our AWS partnership activities from both an operational and strategic perspective.

In this role, you will work at the intersection of cloud technology, business, partnerships, and presales, helping us understand AWS programs, coordinate requirements across teams, track opportunities, and turn technical information into meaningful business actions.

This is not a hands-on production engineering role. You do not need years of production experience, but you should be comfortable with the fundamentals of AWS and cloud architecture, curious about how technology creates business value, and eager to take increasing ownership of partnership processes over time.

 

What does a Cloud Alliance Associate do?

- Support the operational and strategic management of Kloia’s AWS partnership processes.

- Track AWS partner programs, requirements, opportunities, and related actions.

- Research new and existing AWS programs, including eligibility criteria, technical and business requirements, potential funding or incentives, and their value for Kloia.

- Evaluate opportunities beyond simply identifying them by answering questions such as: Why should we participate? What is required? What value can it create? How should we proceed?

- Coordinate AWS-related requirements and actions with internal Engineering, DevOps, Sales, and Business teams.

- Track relevant customer, project, and opportunity information required for partnership activities.

- Prepare reports, analyses, and documentation related to AWS partnership processes.

- Support presales activities together with technical and business teams when needed.

- Communicate with AWS teams, partners, internal stakeholders, and, when relevant, customers.

- Gradually take end-to-end ownership of selected partnership processes as you gain experience.

 

Position: Cloud Alliance Associate

Location: Remote 

Level: Junior 

What would an average day look like?

Your day may start by reviewing ongoing AWS partnership activities, program requirements, or open actions and coordinating with the relevant internal teams.

You might spend part of the day researching an AWS Partner Program to understand its eligibility requirements, technical expectations, business benefits, and potential funding opportunities. Rather than simply documenting what the program is, you will be expected to evaluate whether it makes sense for Kloia and outline what would be required to move forward.

You may also work with DevOps or Engineering teams to collect technical information, coordinate with Sales or Business teams around an opportunity, prepare reports or documentation, or join an AWS or customer meeting together with more experienced team members.

As you gain experience, you will begin managing selected processes independently and taking greater ownership of their progress and outcomes.

 

Who should apply?

This role is a good fit for a recent graduate or early-career professional who wants to build a career at the intersection of cloud technology and business.

You may come from Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Systems Engineering, Management Information Systems, or a similar field. More important than a specific degree is your ability to understand technical concepts, communicate clearly, research unfamiliar topics, and think about their business impact.

You should be someone who does not stop at completing an assigned task. We are looking for a person who naturally asks questions such as “Why are we doing this?”, “What value does this create?”, and “How can we move this forward?”

You should also be comfortable working with different stakeholders and interested in gradually taking ownership of processes rather than waiting for step-by-step direction.
