You will lead the specialist technical relationship, advising customers on security, cost, performance, reliability, operational readiness, and phased coexistence with existing systems. You will also represent the voice of the customer to AWS product and engineering organizations, collaborate with account teams, AWS Professional Services, and partners, and turn engagement insights into reusable modernization patterns and guidance.
