Job description

The Amazon Web Services Professional Services team is seeking a skilled Delivery Consultant specializing in VMware to AWS migrations. In this role you will work closely with customers to design, execute, and manage large-scale VMware estate migrations to AWS, delivering measurable business outcomes across every phase of the programme lifecycle. You will be a key player in driving customer success, providing technical expertise, migration best practices, and hands‑on delivery leadership from initial assessment through production cutover.

With deep expertise in VMware environments and AWS migration services, you will lead enterprise data centre exit programmes spanning multiple countries and regulatory jurisdictions. You will assess VMware workloads through discovery tooling and application owner interviews, define migration strategies and target architectures, assign R‑strategies across the portfolio, and design wave plans that respect dependency groupings, capacity constraints, and regulatory frozen zones. As a trusted advisor you will guide customers through risk mitigation, architecture decisions, and the organizational change that large-scale VMware exits require.

The AWS Professional Services organization is a global team of experts that help customers realize their desired business outcomes on AWS. We work together with customer teams and the AWS Partner Network to execute enterprise cloud computing initiatives through a collection of offerings that help customers achieve specific outcomes related to cloud adoption and migration at scale.

What Makes This Role Different

VMware estates are not just infrastructure. They are the operational core of enterprise businesses built over decades. You will not be running a lift and shift. You will be designing the path from a legacy platform to a modern, cloud‑native foundation, and making that transition invisible to the business. The complexity is real, the stakes are high, and the outcomes are permanent.
