You are the person who walks into a C-level conversation, translates complex business challenges into cloud transformation strategies, and then leads a team of architects and consultants to deliver them. You bridge pre-sales and delivery seamlessly - your clients trust you to define what good looks like, and your team trusts you to back them up when things get hard. \n\nThis is not a role for someone who knows one cloud platform well. It requires genuine fluency across all three major providers - the ability to guide customers to the right platform decisions based on their workloads, governance requirements, and long-term strategy. In addition to technical depth is business acumen to drive the financial success of a P&L, the maturity to lead senior practitioners, and the presence to represent Softchoice at the highest levels of a client organization. \n\nWhat you'll do:\n\nTechnical leadership \n \n \n * Serve as the highest-level technical authority for cloud engagements - the final escalation point for solution design, architecture decisions, and technical risk across AWS, Azure, and GCP \n \n \n * Lead the design and delivery of complex, multi-workstream cloud transformations: migrations, modernizations, cloud-native builds, multi-cloud governance, and cloud security frameworks \n \n \n * Guide customers through provider-selection decisions with objectivity - recommending the right cloud platform (or combination of platforms) based on workload fit, cost, compliance, and long-term strategy \n \n \n * Review and approve architecture documents, deployment plans, technical assessments, and statements of work to ensure quality, consistency, and alignment with Softchoice standards \n \n \n * Stay at the leading edge of cloud innovation - translate emerging trends (AI/ML services, cloud-native development, platform engineering) into practical service offerings \n \n \n * Maintain active certifications across all three major cloud providers; represent Softchoice as a thought leader at industry events, partner briefings, and customer advisory boards \nClient engagement and pre-sales \n \n \n * Act as a trusted advisor to C-level and VP-level client stakeholders - conduct discovery, define business outcomes, and craft tailored transformation roadmaps that create measurable value \n \n \n * Partner with account teams through the full sales cycle: lead solution scoping workshops, develop business cases, author and review statements of work, and respond to RFPs and RFIs \n \n \n * Identify, shape, and support new business opportunities within existing accounts - introduce new Softchoice capabilities and cross-practice offerings to expand client relationships \n \n \n * Quantify the value of proposed transformations; help clients understand how to measure and track success \nDelivery and program ownership \n \n \n * Lead the delivery of complex, multi-phase engagements from initiation to closure - own scope, quality, timeline, and profitability \n \n \n * Partner with PMO counterparts to manage risks, issues, resource plans, and client communications; function as the "Two in the Box" technical lead \n \n \n * Hold team members, contractors, and partners accountable to Softchoice delivery standards and best practices \n \n \n * Drive up- and cross-sell opportunities organically from within active engagements \nTeam leadership and development \n \n \n * Mentor, coach, and develop architects, senior consultants, and consultants on their technical growth, utilization performance, and delivery quality throughout engagements \n \n \n * Build a high-performance project culture: create psychological safety, encourage candid debate, and model Softchoice values of personal growth, customer passion, taking care of others, and owning the end result \n \n \n * Contribute to hiring decisions, onboarding, and capability development for the Cloud practice team \n \n \n * Represent the practice in leadership forums - bring forward insights on market trends, team health, and strategic opportunities \n\nWhat you'll bring to the table:\n\nExperience \n \n \n * 12+ years of progressive experience in enterprise IT, with clear progression through both technical delivery and leadership roles \n \n \n * 5+ years leading multi-disciplinary teams of architects and/or consultants on complex, client-facing engagements \n \n \n * Demonstrated track record spanning both pre-sales solution design and full-lifecycle delivery ownership - not one or the other \n \n \n * Proven experience leading financial oversight for engagements, balancing P&L performance with forward-looking forecasting, clear reporting, and risk mitigation strategies. \nTechnical depth \n \n \n * Genuine fluency across all three major cloud providers - not deep in one and passable in others. You can architect, compare, and defend platform decisions across AWS, Azure, and GCP \n \n \n * Hands-on expertise in cloud architecture patterns: migrations (lift-and-shift through full re-architecture), cloud-native application design, multi-cloud governance, landing zone design, IaaS/PaaS, and hybrid cloud \n \n \n * Strong command of cloud security frameworks, identity and a To view the full job description please use the link below. https://www.aplitrak.com/?adid=YmJnZW5lcmljLjg4MDMzLjEyMjQ4QHNvZnRjaG9pY2Vjb21wLmFwbGl0cmFrLmNvbQ
