DESCRIPTION
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for an experienced and motivated Migration Consultant to join the AWS Professional Services team, supporting our customers within our Public Sector practice.

AWS helps thousands of organizations migrate to the cloud and free up resources by lowering IT costs while improving productivity, operational resiliency, and business agility. Migrations to AWS include moving any workload – application, website, database, storage, physical or virtual server, or an entire data center - from an on-premises environment, hosting facility, or other public cloud to AWS.

About you

Are you a technical professional with experience working on technical and business transformations? Have you migrated IT workloads to the cloud? Have you led large, complex application and modernization programs? Are you able to engage in executive conversations on how customers can achieve greater agility, efficiency, and sustained competitive advantage by migrating and modernizing to the cloud? Can you work equally well with executives and technologists, shaping and leading highly-visible, highly-impactful migration projects that are transformational ?

AWS Professional Services provides a flexible career path, providing you access to learn AWS Services, and gain AWS and industry Certifications. We encourage you to use your creative cloud skills to implement technical and business solutions for our customers.

This is a customer facing role however we operate a hybrid working model (remote and face to face). You will be required to travel to client locations to deliver professional services to our customers when required.


Key job responsibilities
As a Migrations Consultant, you will lead complex projects with autonomy and discretion, often involving multiple Amazon, customer and partner teams.

You will work with customers and partners, leading them through planning, prioritization and delivery of complex transformation and migration initiatives, while collaborating with relevant Sales, Service, and Support Teams.

You will design and deliver solutions that solve for new levels of complexity, scale and performance, and in turn, enable breakthrough innovations. You will create and apply architectural frameworks, methods, best practices and artifacts that deliver prescriptive guidance to customers, and publish and present them in large forums and across various media platforms. You will guide customers’ technical architecture and investments, maximizing alignment with the platform, and ease of adoption as new services and products become available.

You will help customers define target business outcomes and related work streams, and lead the subsequent projects and initiatives to consistently exceed these goals.

As an Amazonian leader you will demonstrate the Amazon Leadership Principles, coaching and mentoring others on best practices, performance and career development.
