Migration and modernization initiatives are key drivers of our business and essential for customer success. Whether motivated by cost savings, data center consolidation, or technology lifecycle events, customers expect more than just operational efficiencies. While achieving 25-50% cost reductions, they aim to increase business agility, transform customer experiences, and drive new innovations leveraging AWS's cloud capabilities.

• Closely partner with account teams, solutions architects, professional services, partners, and stakeholders to embed migration / modernization into customer journeys.
• Consult with customer executives (CXO) on complex, multi-year cloud migration and modernization roadmaps, architecting robust solutions, mitigating risks, optimizing costs, and building compelling business cases.
• Leverage AWS's Migration & Modernisation programs (DC Exit, Migration Acceleration Program) and craft custom commercial constructs addressing unique customer needs.
• Position AWS's differentiated migration / modernization approach at events, executive briefings, and with industry analysts.
• Develop repeatable solutions for common workloads while tailoring proposals to specific customer requirements.
• Provide strategic oversight to delivery teams ensuring AWS exceeds customer expectations.
• Escalate concerns promptly to leadership to maximize customer value delivery.
• Analyze market trends and provide feedback to continuously enhance AWS's market-leading migration / modernization capabilities.

The key focus is identifying large-scale migration and modernization opportunities, orchestrating the full deal lifecycle, and serving as an expert advisor to customers and account teams. Core responsibilities include building pipeline by prospecting migration prospects and scheduling meetings, maintaining accurate Salesforce data, and ensuring sufficient coverage. Progress deals by leading requirements gathering, conducting bi-weekly deal reviews, submitting approvals, and executing steps to close forecasted deals. Communicate status, enable the field through training, and gather feedback. Ensure customer success by documenting criteria for closed migration / modernization deals and conducting quarterly reviews.
