Job description

Every large organisation has a moment where AI and Cloud stops being a technology decision and becomes a business transformation. That's where you come in.

As a Customer Solutions Manager (CSM) in our Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) team, you'll be the person senior leaders turn to when they need to move from strategy to execution. You won't just manage a project plan, you'll help customers figure out what success actually looks like, then work across their teams (and ours) to make it happen. Think migration programs that unlock new business models, AI adoption that changes how a company operates, or modernisation efforts that save millions.

What makes this role different from a typical program manager or consultant? You'll combine deep technical knowledge with strategic business thinking. You're equally comfortable reviewing architecture decisions as you are presenting a transformation roadmap to a CTO. You'll own the outcome, not just the process, and you'll do it across some of Australia's most complex enterprise environments.

This is a high-autonomy role. You'll navigate ambiguity, build trust with executives, and connect the dots between what's technically possible and what drives real business results.

Key job responsibilities

You will apply your consulting and program management expertise to understand customer business objectives, develop executable strategies, and drive successful implementation with customers, AWS teams, and partners. You will understand your customers' biggest IT and business challenges and provide prescriptive guidance based on AWS best practices to guide them through obstacles.

This role drives transformation across technical, operational, organisational, and educational dimensions, spanning IT teams and business units. You will coach customers on AWS services and support them in adopting the right solution at the right time.

• Lead complex customer engagements with measurable impact across multiple business outcomes, lines of business, or customers
• Serve as a trusted advisor to senior customer stakeholders and decision makers, shaping AI and Cloud transformation strategies and influencing adoption decisions
• Own end-to-end execution of strategic customer initiatives, including change management, adoption acceleration, and governance
• Translate complex technical and business requirements into transformative adoption strategies that connect to measurable business outcomes
• Communicate effectively across all organisational levels, from technical leads to business executives, delivering clear messages that drive alignment
• Leverage emerging technologies (including AI) to proactively build and scale mechanisms that eliminate non-differentiated work and reduce adoption friction
• Provide actionable customer insights and feedback that inform AWS service improvements
• Build best practices and mentor team members on technical approaches and execution excellence
