Job ID: 3140493 | AWS EMEA SARL (UK Branch)

The Amazon Web Services Professional Services (ProServe) team is seeking a highly skilled and versatile Engagement Manager (EM) to join our team and lead the delivery of complex cloud solution projects. In this role you will combine technical expertise with strong project leadership skills to drive successful implementations of AWS-based solutions for our clients. You will bridge business requirements with technical solutions, facilitate technical discussions and ensure alignment with customer outcomes. By applying AWS frameworks such as Well‑Architected and Cloud Adoption Framework while demonstrating technical credibility across diverse stakeholders, you will distill customer needs into clear technical requirements, decompose complex problems, and make informed trade‑off decisions considering performance, scalability, security, and business impact.

With strong technology and program/project management experience, you will validate technical solutions against business goals, recognize when additional technical evaluation is required, and manage technical risks. You will be expected to maintain relevant AWS certifications, develop domain‑specific expertise, and effectively communicate technical concepts to both technical and business audiences. As you progress, you’ll lead increasingly complex technical projects, shape cross‑organizational technical strategies, and establish best practices in your domain. In this role you will apply your management and leadership capabilities to successfully execute project plans, proactively identify and manage risks, resolve issues, and drive projects to successful completion while exceeding customer expectations.

The AWS Professional Services organization is a global team of experts that help customers realize their desired business outcomes when using the AWS Cloud. We work together with customer teams and the AWS Partner Network (APN) to execute enterprise cloud computing initiatives. The team provides assistance through a collection of offerings that help customers achieve specific outcomes related to enterprise cloud adoption and delivers focused guidance through our global specialty practices, covering a variety of solutions, technologies, and industries.

Eligibility for UK Government Security Clearance is required for this role (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/united-kingdom-security-vetting-clearance-levels).

Key job responsibilities

• Leading and managing complex cloud migration and transformation projects/programmes from inception to completion
• Ensuring successful delivery of project/programme outcomes within agreed time frames, budget and quality parameters
• Developing and executing project/programme level planning with the agility to adjust strategies as necessary to meet evolving business objectives
• Building and maintaining strong stakeholder relationships across customers, partners and internal teams at all levels
• Driving key decisions and resolving project/programme level risks and issues
• Establishing robust governance model, project/programme structure and communication plan
• Leading multidisciplinary teams of technical specialists
• Ensuring compliance with security, regulatory and governance requirements
• Bridging business requirements with technical solutions, facilitating engineering discussions and ensuring alignment with customer business outcomes
• Distilling customer needs into clear technical requirements and mapping them to business outcomes

A day in the life

As an engagement manager, you will interact closely with clients and internal teams, managing project timelines, risk, scope and budgets while maintaining high standards of delivery and client satisfaction. Your day will involve regular status meetings, stakeholder briefings, and iterative planning sessions that keep projects on track.
