Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a Senior Partner Solutions Architect (PSA) covering partners within the Financial Services Industry (FSI). As an FSI PSA, you will have the opportunity to deliver on our strategy of accelerating adoption of AWS cloud computing services through our consulting and technology partners and their FSI customers.
AWS partners include the largest software and systems integration companies, as well as hundreds of innovative software and services companies, who are using AWS as their cloud platform of choice. This role will focus on working with multiple strategic consulting and technology partners to define technical solutions. They will be responsible for accelerating the cloud migration journey for enterprises in FSI, including understanding business drivers, their current datacenter architecture, helping design reliable and scalable cloud infrastructure foundation, and defining adoption pathways.
The ideal candidate will possess deep technical skill in software architecture, info security, compliance initiatives, software deployment and cloud computing as well as customer facing skills at all levels of a partner organization. The ideal candidate should also have a demonstrated ability to think strategically about business, product, and technical challenges. The ideal candidate is an influencer by nature and must be seen as someone the partners are eager to engage with and have a strong hands-on approach.
AWS partners develop and deploy solutions for customers in the FSI vertical (Banking, Insurance, Capital Markets) in areas such as improving customer experience, identifying risk and design controls, setting up ongoing assurance, and establish automated compliance. AWS customers are developing some of the most exciting and innovative new businesses, and partners are using cloud technologies from AWS such as Generative AI and Machine Learning, IoT, compute and storage to dramatically accelerate innovation.
