You'll be a key player in driving customer success through their cloud journey, providing technical expertise and best practices throughout the project lifecycle.
Possessing a deep understanding of AWS products and services, as a Delivery Consultant you will be proficient in architecting complex, scalable, and secure solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of each customer. You'll work closely with stakeholders to gather requirements, assess current infrastructure, and propose effective migration strategies to AWS.

Key job responsibilities Own technical direction and architecture. Set the target-state architecture and technical roadmap for large, multi-workstream migration and modernization programs, tied to the customer's business objectives and measurable success criteria. Design scalable, secure AWS solutions, including multi-account strategies, networking (Direct Connect, Transit Gateway, VPN), identity and security controls.
Set the technical bar and resolve escalations. Chair architecture and design reviews, approve technical decisions, and set the standards AWS, customer and partner teams follow. Lead technical escalations and resolve complex problems across the infrastructure, application and data layers.
Deliver migration and modernization end to end. Lead engagements from discovery, assessment and wave planning through execution and post-migration validation for on-premises VM and physical server workloads. Choose the right 7R path for each workload, and drive modernization where lift-and-shift isn't feasible, through re-platforming, re-architecting, containers, serverless and database modernization.
Advise customer executives and grow the account. Act as the trusted technical advisor to customer CTOs, CIOs and architecture boards, and give clear trade-off recommendations at executive steering committees. Work with Engagement Managers on scope, estimates, risks and delivery plans, and with account teams to shape follow-on modernization opportunities.
Build teams and reusable capability. Lead and develop technical teams across AWS, customer and partner organizations, and hold partners to defined standards through design reviews and quality gates. Mentor consultants and architects, run technical enablement, and publish reusable artifacts, reference architectures, runbooks and accelerators for the wider practice.
