Business Development & Partnerships Associate

What You'll Do

Partner motion: Anthropic and AWS

• Act as a day-to-day point of contact for Anthropic's and AWS's partner and field sales teams.
• Receive and qualify enterprise leads shared by our partners, run discovery calls, and move qualified opportunities through to proposal and signed SOW, with support from BD leadership on larger deals.
• Keep the joint pipeline up to date, and help prepare quarterly business reviews and co-sell planning sessions.
• Build relationships with Anthropic and AWS field reps so Provectus is their first call for implementation needs.
• Support partner program activities: certifications, co-marketing campaigns, case studies, and partner events.

New business development

• Prospect into enterprise accounts in Financial Services and Life Sciences through outbound, networking, events, and referrals.
• Run discovery, scope opportunities with our architects, and own deals through the sales cycle.
• Build a growing network of decision-makers on the East Coast.

Cross-functional collaboration

• Work with delivery leads and solution architects to scope proposals accurately. You'll be selling consulting engagements, not software licenses.
• Share market insights (buyer objections, competitor moves, industry trends) with leadership and marketing.

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of experience in business development, partnerships, or sales, ideally in B2B technology, cloud, or consulting.
• Hands-on experience working with a technology partner ecosystem (AWS, Anthropic, Microsoft, Google Cloud, Snowflake, Databricks, or similar), for example co-selling, joint pipeline, or co-marketing.
• A track record of moving deals through the sales cycle, from prospecting and discovery to proposal and close.
• Strong written and verbal communication, and confidence presenting to VP-level and senior stakeholders.
• Curiosity about AI and a genuine interest in how enterprises adopt it.
• Comfort in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where you take ownership without being micromanaged.
• Willingness to travel up to 40% for client meetings, workshops, partner events, and conferences.
 

Nice to Have

• Experience in Financial Services (banking, insurance, capital markets) or Life Sciences (pharma, biotech).
• Experience selling services or statement-of-work (SOW) engagements rather than SaaS subscriptions.
• Exposure to AI/ML, LLM-based products, or cloud data solutions.
• An existing network in New York's financial services or life sciences communities.
