DESCRIPTION

Would you like to be part of a team focused on increasing the adoption of AWS Graviton based workflows and applications in the UK and Ireland?

AWS Graviton is a family of processors designed by AWS to deliver the best price performance for cloud workloads running in Amazon EC2, AWS managed compute, and AWS managed services. AWS Graviton-based instances support a wide range of general purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized and accelerated computing workloads, and is a key foundation for GenAI applications.

As a trusted customer advocate, you will help organizations understand best practices around advanced cloud-based solutions, and how to migrate existing workloads to the cloud.

You will have the opportunity to help shape and execute a strategy to build mind-share and broad use of AWS within enterprise customers. The ideal candidate must be self-motivated with a proven track record of customer obsession and delivering results. The ability to connect technology with measurable business value is critical to a solutions architect.

Many AWS services, including Amazon Aurora, Amazon ElastiCache, Amazon EMR, AWS Lambda, and AWS Fargate, also support Graviton-based instances for a fully managed experience with significant price performance benefits. AWS Graviton provides up to 40% better price performance over comparable x86-based instances.

To help our customers reduce their carbon footprint, AWS Graviton uses up to 60% less energy for the same performance than comparable EC2 instances.

You will work with some of the biggest and most prestigious businesses in the UK and Ireland, diving deep into their requirements, explaining our value and capabilities, in order to drive new business.

The ideal candidate will possess a technical background, enabling them to engage accounts at a range of levels, including the CXO level.
