Strategic Deal Consultant, AWS Initiatives - VMCCO

In this role, you will architect and lead strategic, high-complexity deal pursuits that accelerate customer adoption of AWS cloud through partner‑led and Pro Serve‑led motions. Working directly with AWS senior leadership, enterprise account teams, and cross‑functional stakeholders, you will own deal qualification, commercial strategy, and proposal development for large‑scale migration and modernization opportunities.

• Deal Strategy & Execution
  • Own end‑to‑end deal strategy for strategic opportunities, from qualification through close, ensuring AWS is positioned as the customer's preferred cloud platform.
  • Architect commercial deal structures that align partner incentives, AWS investments, and customer value realization into compelling, fundable proposals.
  • Lead deal qualification with rigor—applying sound judgment to prioritize pursuits that meet strategic and financial thresholds while proactively exiting low‑probability opportunities early.
• Stakeholder Leadership & Influence
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to AWS partners, enterprise sales teams, and senior leadership on deal positioning, competitive strategy, and investment allocation.
  • Coach partners and account teams on developing industry‑relevant business cases that articulate measurable outcomes for large enterprise customers.
  • Navigate complex approval processes and cross‑functional coordination with speed, maintaining agreed SLAs across legal, finance, and business development stakeholders.
• Operational Rigor & Pipeline Acceleration
  • Surface blocked pipeline and friction points with data‑driven insights, developing mechanisms that accelerate deal velocity across the #One Team ecosystem.
  • Support rapid decision‑making in fast‑paced deal cycles, providing leadership visibility into deal health, risk, and resource needs.
  • Build scalable processes and mechanisms that drive operational excellence and reduce resolution time for recurring deal patterns.
• Commercial Impact & Measurement
  • Develop commercial strategies that deliver measurable business impact—quantifying cost of delay, migration economics, and long‑term customer value.
  • Use data to assess strategic costs, benefits, and ROI of partnership investments, translating analysis into actionable recommendations for leadership.

You'll start each day focused on your customers—large enterprises navigating high‑stakes decisions about transforming their IT infrastructure. You'll diagnose why a deal is stuck from the customer's perspective, then coach partners on building business cases that solve the customer's actual problem, not just pitch technology. You'll join deal reviews armed with options so decisions happen fast, and qualify new opportunities by asking whether AWS can genuinely deliver what the customer needs.

When patterns emerge that slow customers down, you build mechanisms to remove that friction.

You'll join a small, globally distributed team that helps large enterprises move to AWS faster by making the deal itself a competitive advantage. We blend deal strategists, go‑to‑market specialists, solution architects, and specialist sales— all working across functions because complex problems don't get solved in silos. Our culture is customer‑first, fast‑moving, and builder‑oriented: when we see friction slowing a customer's decision, we build mechanisms to fix it rather than escalate and wait.

You'll have visible impact, sharp collaborators, and the expectation to improve how we work every day.

• 7+ years of working with Enterprise Application Modernization and Migration technologies, including, but not limited to, Mainframe, Serverless, Containers, or Cloud Operations experience
