Senior Engagement Manager, AWS Professional Services

AWS Professional Services is seeking an Engagement Manager to support delivery governance for cloud transformation engagements with enterprise customers across Australia. This role focused on managing project delivery, stakeholder coordination, and commercial oversight across one or more delivery streams — including application modernisation, cloud migration, and digital foundations — working alongside senior AWS leaders, partners, and customer teams. You will be accountable for project-level delivery, commercial management, and ensuring customer business outcomes are achieved. You will coordinate with internal and external stakeholders, manage risks and dependencies, and contribute to governance cadences.

• Leveraging comprehensive knowledge of AWS services, architectures, and best practices to guide technical decisions and strategic planning
• Bridging business requirements with technical solutions, facilitating engineering discussions and ensuring alignment with customer business outcomes

• Decomposing complex technical problems into actionable, deliverable solutions
• Contributing to technical documentation and define documentation standards
