About the position

AWS Partner Solutions Architects in many ways act as a strategic “keystone” bringing together several distinct groups within AWS that support AWS partners. This is a high visibility role where you collaborate with, and influence, both external stakeholders (AWS partner) and internal AWS teams like sales and service engineering. Moreover, you can be part of a team that is redefining the Enterprise IT industry. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is leading the next paradigm shift in cloud computing and is looking for an experienced solution architect for the role of a Senior Migration Partner Solutions Architect in the AWS Partner Organization. Through this role you will become a trusted AWS Technology Architect helping to develop and deliver on a migration strategy to support organizations as they transition to the cloud working with key strategic, global consulting partners. You will partner with Partner Development Managers to create and present meaningful customer-facing architectures of widely varying size and complexity and be a key member of a core team establishing customer migration best practices. You will drive revenue growth across a broad set of customers by identifying and closing large-scale IT Outsourcing renewals with the partners. Additionally, you will excel in collaborating with commercials, presales, service engineering and delivery teams. In this role, you will need to be technically capable, enjoy learning and introducing new technology in order to help colleagues and customers embrace and adopt that technology, and be skilled at communicating technology strategies to customers. You will also need to be proficient at interacting, communicating and partnering with other departments within AWS such as our services teams, marketing, and professional services. The position may require traveling (roughly 25%) to meet partners and customers.
