Delivery Consultant (DevOps), Professional Services, UK NatSec, WWPS

DESCRIPTION

The Amazon Web Services Professional Services (ProServe) team is seeking a skilled Delivery Consultant (DevOps) to join our team at Amazon Web Services (AWS). In this role, you'll work closely with customers to design, implement, and manage AWS solutions that meet their technical requirements and business objectives. You'll be a key player in driving customer success through their cloud journey, providing technical expertise and best practices throughout the project lifecycle.

Possessing a deep understanding of AWS products and services, as a Delivery Consultant you will be proficient in architecting complex, scalable, and secure solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of each customer. You'll work closely with stakeholders to gather requirements, assess current infrastructure, and propose effective migration strategies to AWS. As trusted advisors to our customers, providing guidance on industry trends, emerging technologies, and innovative solutions, you will be responsible for leading the implementation process, ensuring adherence to best practices, optimizing performance, and managing risks throughout the project.

This is a customer-facing role. You will be required to travel to UK client locations (3-4 days on customer site per week) to deliver professional services to our customers.

UK Government Security Clearance is required for this role. UK Nationality is required for this role.

Key job responsibilities

1. Solutions: You like working with customers to solve problems and identify opportunities. You'll define and deliver on-site technical engagements with partners and customers. This includes understanding customer security and compliance requirements, proposing and delivering packaged security offerings, and helping to build bespoke security solutions to fit customers' needs.
2. Expertise: Cloud is the new norm and customers are migrating increasingly more sensitive workloads to AWS. You're an expert in operating within an enterprise security program and developing a security model in the AWS cloud - identity and access management, logging and monitoring, infrastructure security, data protection, and incident response.
3. Delivery: As a consultant you will often go on-site to customers to deliver projects proving the use of AWS services and security technology to support information security in the cloud. Sometimes you might help migrate existing applications; sometimes you might help them develop new applications using AWS cloud services.
4. Insights: You'll work with AWS engineering, support and business teams to convey partner and customer feedback as input to AWS technology roadmaps.
5. Practice Development: Helping customers is our number one goal - but it's not our only goal. With each engagement, you're looking for ways to collect, capture, package and share your knowledge with new customers, partners, and AWS employees. You are a force-multiplier - developing tools, services, and new artefacts that help others build on the work you deliver.
