Partnerships Manager

About Us

Duco is on a mission to reduce the time spent on data-related work by 90%. Our enterprise data automation platform empowers teams to work more efficiently and meaningfully by giving them the ability to automate data controls with the latest technology, such as no-code, the cloud, and AI.

We help firms to start trusting their data, by giving them one intuitive platform to automate the front-to-back processing of all kinds of data (from structured Excels and RTFs to unstructured PDFs and emails). This eliminates the boring manual work across the data lifecycle and enables firms to act faster, work smarter, save money, reduce risk and comply with regulatory requirements.

We’re headquartered in London and have offices in New York, Wroclaw, Singapore, and Antwerp. We’re proud to call some of the largest global financial institutions our clients, including over 15 of the world’s largest international banks, as well as brokers, exchanges, asset managers, hedge funds, administrators, service providers and corporates.

The opportunity

We are seeking an accomplished Partner Sales Manager to own Duco’s partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a strategic revenue channel. You will be measured on the co-sell pipeline you generate and the net-new business you close in partnership with AWS.

In this role, you will be responsible for transforming our most important strategic partnership into a scalable source of revenue. You will have genuine ownership, direct access to the leadership team and the opportunity to define how Duco engages with strategic partners as we continue to grow.

Key responsibilities

• Generate pipeline in partnership with AWS account teams through joint account mapping, co-sell motions and well-qualified opportunity registration
• Drive opportunities to close alongside Duco’s Account Executives, taking the lead where AWS is the primary route to market
• Leverage AWS programmes and commercial mechanisms, including AWS Marketplace private offers, co-sell programmes and partner funding, to accelerate deal cycles
• Enable AWS sellers to identify when to engage Duco and to position our platform with confidence
• Lead joint go-to-market activity with Marketing, including events, campaigns and executive briefings within the New York financial services community
• Report on pipeline, forecast and partner-sourced revenue with the rigour expected of any quota-carrying seller

Skills and experience

• 7–10\+ years’

experience in partner sales, alliances or channel roles, with a proven track record of carrying and exceeding a revenue target

• Direct experience selling with or through AWS, supported by an established network across AWS field and partner teams (Capital Markets or financial services industry experience strongly preferred)
• Working knowledge of AWS partner programmes, including co-sell, AWS Marketplace, private offers and partner funding
• Experience selling enterprise SaaS solutions into financial services
• Credibility with both AWS sellers and buyers within banks and asset managers
• An entrepreneurial mindset, with the ability to operate effectively without extensive support structures and a strong interest in working within an AI-native team that makes full use of its own tools and agents
• Based in or near New York or Boston, with the ability to travel as required

Desirable

• Familiarity with post-trade, operations or data workflows within financial services
• Experience extending a successful partnership playbook to additional strategic partners

You have established relationships with AWS Capital Markets and Banking specialist sellers and partner managers, put in place a joint account plan for our priority targets and registered the first co-sell opportunities, which are actively progressing.

You are generating a consistent flow of AWS-sourced and AWS-influenced pipeline against a clearly defined target, and have closed the first net-new deals through the partnership.
