Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for an experienced technical manager to lead a solutions architecture team that helps Public Sector, Not for Profit (NPO), and State-Owned customers succeed using AWS technologies.
In this role, you will hire and develop some of the industry's best cloud-based solutions architects, coach them on cloud adoption best practices, and empower them to further develop their technical areas of depth as well as their communication, presentation, and strategic advisory skills. You will partner with other teams within AWS such as account management, service teams, marketing, and professional services, prioritizing initiatives and aligning goals to maximize long-term value.
You and your team will shape and deliver a strategy to build mind share and broad use of AWS services within Public Sector, NPO, and State-Owned customers in the Republic of Ireland.
