• Migration assessments, discovery workshops, and architecture reviews that shape transformation roadmaps
• Hands-on technical work alongside strategic guidance
• Input into scoping, estimating, and proposals with the Growth team

What You'll Bring

• Extensive hands-on AWS experience: landing zones, multi-account architecture, networking, and migration tooling (MGN, DMS, AWS Transform)
• Proven consulting leadership experience: workshops, stakeholder management, C-level reporting
• Experience running Well-Architected Framework reviews and cloud maturity assessments
• Strong grasp of modernisation patterns: containerisation, serverless, database decomposition
• IaC fluency (CloudFormation, CDK, or Terraform) and CI/CD experience
• Scripting skills (Python/bash) for automation
• Comfort with AI-assisted and agentic delivery tools (Amazon Q, GitHub Copilot)
