Job ID: 2740685 | Amazon Web Services, Inc.

DESCRIPTION

Within AWS, the AWS Industries Migration and Modernization team helps our largest global customers customers, in strategic commercial industry sectors, to deliver business outcomes by migrating workloads and data centers to AWS. We work closely with our technology domain specialists, sales and marketing teams, legal & program teams, solution architects, customer solution managers, partner solution managers, professional services, and customer stakeholders to win cloud migrations to AWS.

We are seeking an experienced Cloud Migration Advisor/Specialist to join our team to drive customer engagement and gain commercial commitment to migrate to AWS, coach and develop our migration go-to-market teams, and work with cloud specialists, industry sales directors, and account teams to deliver customer outcomes.

You should be comfortable working with cross-functional global teams in dynamic organizations as the engagement model will have inter-dependencies with other teams within AWS.

The right candidate will have experience working with enterprise customers at a senior stakeholder level, identifying, sizing, and planning large scale migrations and transformation projects and leading/developing technical solutions teams. This involves a customer-obsessed and collaborative approach, strong technical acumen to provide confidence to customers and answer their questions, an ability to engage and help customers crystallize business benefits of their migrations, and demonstrating a deep understanding of cloud solutions, and a passion for helping customers transform using cloud technologies.

AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications and skills listed in the 8 description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.
