Job description

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.

Key job responsibilities

Design and implement complex, scalable, and secure AWS target architectures for VMware workload migrations, covering compute, network, storage, and virtualization layers
Lead end‑to‑end VMware estate assessments using discovery tooling and application owner interviews, producing portfolio disposition recommendations with R‑strategy assignments across rehost, replatform, refactor, retire, retain, and relocate
Define migration strategy and target architecture for VMware workloads, translating technical choices into business outcomes for executive audiences
Design and own wave plans including dependency grouping, capacity balancing, cutover sequencing, and multi‑geography coordination under regulatory constraints
Apply AI‑powered and agentic migration tools including AWS Transform, ModelizeIT, Kiro, and equivalent tooling to accelerate discovery, assessment, and migration execution at scale
Lead large delivery teams and matrix organizations, driving alignment across business and technology stakeholders throughout the program lifecycle
Partner with AWS Migration Services including Application Migration Service (MGN), Database Migration Service (DMS), and Migration Hub to execute migrations with precision and repeatability
Provide technical guidance and troubleshooting support throughout delivery, ensuring adherence to AWS Well-Architected principles and optimizing wave sequencing to minimize risk and business disruption
Act as a trusted advisor to customers on VMware licensing optimization, infrastructure modernization, and emerging AWS capabilities relevant to their environment
Share knowledge within the organization through mentoring, training, and creating reusable migration artifacts, runbooks, and cutover playbooks that partners can execute at scale

Basic Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
10+ years of cloud architecture, solution implementation, or consulting experience with a focus on large‑scale cloud migration and modernization programs
Experience leading the delivery of large‑scale, mission‑critical enterprise IT and migration programmes including data center exits in a customer‑facing role
Deep hands‑on experience with VMware environments including vSphere, vCenter, NSX, vSAN, and ESXi administration and migration
Experience as the technical lead of large‑scale migrations, defining migration strategy and target architecture, selecting the right approach for each workload, and translating technical choices into business outcomes for executive audiences
Experience using AI‑powered and agentic migration and modernization tools such as AWS Transform, ModelizeIT, Kiro, or equivalent to accelerate discovery, assessment, and migration execution at scale
Hands‑on experience with technology infrastructure including network, compute, storage, and virtualization
Experience with wave planning including dependency grouping, capacity balancing, and multi‑geography coordination under regulatory constraints
Experience leading large teams and matrix organizations and driving alignment across business and technology stakeholders
Experience with the software development lifecycle and agile and iterative delivery methods

Preferred Qualifications

Work experience in financial services including banking, capital markets, payments, or insurance, with regulated workloads and compliance and security standards
Deep knowledge of AWS services including EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, IAM, and VPC, and AWS migration services including Application Migration Service, Database Migration Service, and Migration Hub
AWS Professional level certifications including Solutions Architect Professional or DevOps Engineer Professional
VMware certification including VCP, VCAP, or equivalent
Experience with two or more migration domains beyond VMware such as SAP, Windows and SQL Server, database migrations including Oracle licensing and PostgreSQL, or mainframe
Experience with infrastructure as code, automation, and scripting including Terraform, CloudFormation, Python, and PowerShell
Experience with public, hybrid, and multi‑cloud platforms including VMware Cloud on AWS
Comfortable navigating ambiguity in complex multi‑vendor environments with incomplete documentation and conflicting data sources while prioritizing needs and delivering measurable results
Spanish language skills, written and spoken, are highly valued
