Full Job Description
We are seeking an experienced technical leader to run our iM&A team. You will lead a team of individual contributors who support PE-backed portfolio companies through cloud migration, AI enablement, and IT transformation during M&A transactions. This includes defining strategies for IT separation and integration, driving generative AI adoption to accelerate post-acquisition value creation, and partnering cross-functionally with AWS account teams, Solutions Architects, and ProServe.

The role requires technical depth, executive presence, and comfort operating in fast-paced deal environments where timelines are compressed and stakeholder expectations are high. You will represent AWS in executive conversations with PE managing directors, operating partners, and portfolio company C-suites, positioning cloud and AI as enablers of their investment theses.

• Serve as the primary AWS point of contact for PE firms executing platform acquisitions, add-ons, and carve-outs.
• Define and execute strategies for IT separation, integration, modernization, and generative AI adoption within deal timelines.
• Drive AI enablement initiatives, helping portfolio companies leverage Amazon Bedrock, generative AI, and ML services to create operational value post-acquisition.
• Build and maintain executive relationships with PE operating partners, portfolio CTOs/CIOs, and M&A advisory firms.
• Partner with AWS field teams to identify and qualify M&A-driven pipeline opportunities.
• Represent AWS PE iM&A at industry events (e.g., IMN conferences) and in executive customer conversations.
• Drive operational cadence including deal tracking, team prioritization, and reporting to PE leadership.
• Scope customer engagements with clear objectives, success criteria, and cost optimization strategies leveraging the right architecture and AWS pricing models.
• Coach and develop your team to deliver specialized workshops, AI enablement sessions, and platform briefings to portfolio company leadership.
