Who are you? You're a seasoned technical consultant who's ready to lead, not just deliver. You've run migration programs end to end, owned the client relationship and guided delivery teams through complex transformation work. You bring deep AWS expertise, the consulting instincts to manage stakeholders at every level, and the leadership presence to mentor others while staying hands-on yourself. You've led large-scale migrations, modernised legacy platforms, and know your way around disaster recovery, cost optimisation, and AI-driven delivery.

What you'll do

Leading the execution of migration and modernisation programs
Leading workshops and delivery sessions with clients and internal teams
Day-to-day leadership of delivery teams and the primary client relationship
Coaching for Senior Consultants and contributions to Cevo's reusable IP
End-to-end delivery for client engagements: scope, timeline, quality
Migration assessments, discovery workshops, and architecture reviews that shape transformation roadmaps
Hands-on technical work alongside strategic guidance
Input into scoping, estimating, and proposals with the Growth team

What you'll bring

Extensive hands-on AWS experience: landing zones, multi-account architecture, networking, and migration tooling (MGN, DMS, AWS Transform)
Proven consulting leadership experience: workshops, stakeholder management, C-level reporting
Experience running Well-Architected Framework reviews and cloud maturity assessments
Strong grasp of modernisation patterns: containerisation, serverless, database decomposition
IaC fluency (CloudFormation, CDK, or Terraform) and CI/CD experience
Scripting skills (Python/bash) for automation
Comfort with AI-assisted and agentic delivery tools (Amazon Q, GitHub Copilot)
AWS Solution Architect Professional/Specialty (a strong plus)
FinOps experience is highly regarded

If you want to combine consulting, leadership, and hands-on cloud expertise to help clients genuinely transform their platforms, this is your next role.
