Description

AWS is looking for an experienced technical leader for a Solutions Architecture team focused on our Partner Community of ISVs in Storage and Cisco segments. This is a management position for someone who can build teams quickly, recognize and coach top technical talent, establish relationships and set strategy at a senior level with AWS product teams, measure and deliver results, and also get hands-on to help build complex, AWS-optimized architectures with Storage partners and Cisco's line of products that span across networking, observability and security.

The right candidate should have experience building and leading distributed teams of senior architects or similar roles at technology companies or large enterprises. Alliances or enterprise customer-facing experience is required. Understanding of AWS Technologies is desired but not required. You will get the opportunity to work directly with senior engineers at both strategic partners and AWS service teams.

In this role, you will need to be technically capable and credible in your own right as well as effective in shaping the customer and solutions-focused skills of your team. You must enjoy learning and introducing new technology in order to help colleagues and customers embrace and adopt new technology. Furthermore, thought leadership in terms of looking beyond the technology and considering the value technology creates for our customers, and helping to change how technology is viewed are important aspects of the role.

Up to 30% travel is required.
