  • Develop account growth strategies in partnership with sales, delivery, and practice leadership

  • Lead executive workshops, architecture reviews, proposals, roadmaps, and strategic presentations

  • Remain actively involved in delivery to maintain client trust, support successful outcomes, and identify emerging priorities

  • Broad understanding of cloud, data, AI, cybersecurity, integration, and application modernization

  • Demonstrated ability to assess complex technology environments and provide clear, practical direction

  • Strong executive presence and the ability to communicate credibly with both senior executives and technical teams

Although this is not primarily a hands-on engineering role, candidates must have the technical depth to assess, shape, and challenge enterprise cloud solutions within large banking environments:

  • Cloud Platform Architect-level knowledge of Azure, AWS, and/or GCP, including hybrid- and multi-cloud environments

  • Platform engineering and shared cloud services designed for use across multiple teams and applications

  • Cloud governance, landing zones, identity, networking, security, resilience, and observability

  • Working knowledge of Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD, containers, Kubernetes, APIs, and modern application delivery practices

  • Ability to evaluate technical approaches, identify risks, and explain recommendations to architects, engineers, and executives

Preferred:
