Company: Anson McCade
Apply for the AWS Cloud Architect
Location: Greater London
Job Description:

Are you a senior AWS architect ready to lead large-scale cloud transformation programmes for some of the world’s most complex organisations? We’re working with a global professional services leader to find a talented AWS Solution Architect at Senior Manager level; a high‐impact role sitting at the intersection of cloud strategy, enterprise architecture, and digital transformation.

About the Business

Our client is one of the world’s most recognised professional services and technology consulting firms, operating across strategy, technology, and operations on a global scale. They’re consistently ranked among the best employers worldwide for both performance and inclusion, and their cloud practice is one of the largest and most respected in the industry.

The Role

This is a senior leadership role within a high‑performing cloud practice, working with tier‑1 clients across multiple industry sectors. You’ll define cloud strategy, lead transformation programmes, and engage at board and executive level, while also mentoring and building capability within the team.

This isn’t an ivory‑tower architecture role. You’ll be hands‑on, client‑facing, and directly accountable for turning cloud strategy into tangible outcomes.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Defining cloud strategy and governance models, setting enterprise architecture standards for AWS adoption
  • Aligning complex business objectives with scalable, secure cloud solutions
  • Driving innovation across data, AI, security, and multi‑cloud strategies
  • Ensuring regulatory compliance and security best practice across all cloud environments
  • Presenting cloud architectures and strategies to executive boards and governance forums
  • Mentoring managers and consultants, building technical capability across the team

What we’re looking for:

  • ✅ Significant hands‑on experience designing and implementing AWS cloud solutions
  • ✅ AWS Professional and/or Associate certification (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, or equivalent)
  • ✅ Ability to translate business requirements into scalable, secure cloud architectures
  • ✅ Strong grasp of data platforms, analytics, and AI/ML‑driven solution design
  • ✅ Proficiency across modern cloud patterns; serverless, containerised, microservices, CI/CD
  • ✅ Deep knowledge of security architecture: identity, access management, encryption, compliance
  • ✅ Experience with integration patterns, event‑driven architecture, and hybrid connectivity
  • ✅ Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
  • AWS Specialty certifications (Advanced Networking, Machine Learning, Security)
  • Multi‑cloud experience with Azure or Google Cloud

Important:

All offers are subject to BPSS and SC security clearance, which requires 5 years of continuous UK address history at the point of application.

Location:

London‑based with client site travel as required.

Package:

Competitive base salary + 30 days annual leave + private medical insurance + 3 additional days charitable leave per year.

This is a standout opportunity for a senior architect who wants genuine scale, variety, and career progression, working on the kind of programmes that most people only read about.
