Description
Are you a senior technology leader who operates at the intersection of deep infrastructure and AI expertise and executive-level Energy business strategy? Do you want to shape how the world's most ambitious Energy companies build AI-accelerated workflows in the cloud? We're looking for someone who can do both — and continue to build a world-class team while doing it.
As the Senior Manager Solutions Architecture for North and Central Europe you will lead an elite team of solutions architects who excel at industry transformation with broad Energy and Utilities domain depth, and deep AWS services expertise. Your team partners with AWS's regional sales organization to accelerate adoption, but your personal impact extends far beyond: you will be a trusted technical advisor in C-suite conversations, helping customers architect for AI at scale and connecting infrastructure decisions to business outcomes.
Reporting directly to the Global Solution Architecture for Energy and Utilities Leader, you will own the regional strategy for resource investment, customer engagement priorities, and technical adoption across current and emerging services. You will influence AWS's global product roadmap by amplifying the voice of EMEA's most strategic customers — and you will build, coach, and retain a high-performing team of elite technical leaders who set the standard for customer obsession and technical excellence.
A key dimension of this role is helping customers understand how AWS foundational services underpin and enable AI/ML transformation — ensuring infrastructure readiness, performance optimization, and security posture as customers scale their AI ambitions.
