About the Role:

The Sr. Application Migration & Modernization CDA is a new growth role within the Professional Services umbrella, and is principally oriented around a qualify-deliver-manage model. The individual is responsible for partnering with Professional Services leaders to dive deep into a customer’s business challenge, to collaboratively propose and pre-qualify a particular set of outcomes that would result from a formal Application Migration & Modernization Professional Services engagement. Thereafter, the individual remains meaningfully engaged with that customer, Amazon team, and project/program to ensure high-value, predictable, and successful delivery.

This is not a pure consultant role, nor is it a pure selling role. It is an individual with a unique data and analytics expertise, hands-on building, coupled with cross-industry business acumen, including a heavy dose of passion for continued knowledge acquisition and growth, obsession for customers, and their success using AWS that will align well with the desired outcomes to be produced.

Key Job Responsibilities:

1. Ensure success in designing, building, optimizing, transforming, or migrating customers' workloads to the AWS platform.
2. Drive the architecture and building of highly scalable, cloud-native applications on the AWS platform using core developer services like API Gateway, Lambda, SQS, DynamoDB, and ECS.
3. Educate customers on the value proposition of AWS.
4. Participate in deep architectural discussions and design exercises to create world-class Application Migration & Modernization solutions built on AWS while ensuring such solutions are designed for successful deployment in the cloud and drive business outcomes.
5. Author or contribute to AWS customer-facing publications such as whitepapers and proof of concepts.
6. In partnership with the Professional Services leadership and account team, formulate and execute a strategy to accelerate customer outcomes through the adoption of AWS in conjunction with Professional Services engagements.
7. Build deep relationships with senior technical individuals within customers to enable them to be cloud advocates.
8. Capture and share best-practice knowledge, sales, and delivery content amongst the AWS Professional Services community.

This is a customer-facing role. You will be required to travel to client locations to deliver professional services when needed.
