About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

End-to-end ownership of the technical design and architectural direction for a major AWS migration programme.
Responsible for producing the core designs, shaping the migration approach, guiding delivery, and acting as the senior technical escalation point.
Design real solutions that get delivered, not to operate as an oversight or assurance function.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Proven experience designing and delivering large-scale AWS migration programmes, not just reviewing them.
Strong VMware to AWS native (EC2) migration experience, including: Discovery and dependency mapping
Authoring HLDs and LLDs
Migration wave design and production cutovers
Deep networking capability is critical to this role - The successful candidate must be comfortable shaping and challenging designs covering Direct Connect, Transit Gateway, VPN, routing, segmentation, DNS, firewall/security policy alignment, and migration cutover connectivity for large-scale VMware-to-AWS programmes.
Consultancy / professional services background is essential, with experience:
Designing solutions directly for customers
Working within Statements of Work and commercial constraints
Leading through influence rather than hierarchy.
Hands-on experience with vSphere, VMC, and hybrid estates.
AWS Well-Architected Framework accreditation and practical experience running Well-Architected reviews and design workshops in customer environments.
Strong experience designing and integrating Disaster Recovery architectures on AWS (for example AWS DRS, multi-AZ and multi-region patterns), aligned to migration and production cutover strategies.
Practical experience designing secure AWS Landing Zones, including IAM, networking, logging, monitoring, and guardrails, rather than consuming pre-built templates only.
Solid understanding of AWS security and operating models, including identity, access, audit, resilience, and service transition into BAU.
Experience supporting or working within AWS migration funding or incentive programmes, where architecture and delivery decisions impact eligibility or reporting.
