Description
As a Cloud Architect within our Cloud & Infrastructure capability, you will lead and govern the migration, transformation and design of secure, scalable, and cost-efficient cloud platforms across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. You will set architectural direction and act as design authority for cloud-first, hybrid, and multi-cloud strategies aligned to business outcomes, regulatory requirements, and digital sovereignty considerations.
You will define enterprise-scale, cloud-native and AI-ready architectures supporting application platforms, data and AI workloads, and GenAI-enabled use cases. Working across strategy, target architectures, and delivery programmes, you will ensure solutions are resilient, secure, and operationally robust from design through implementation.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Leading cloud transformation initiatives, including migration assessments, discovery activities, and definition of target cloud architectures
- Defining and governing enterprise cloud architecture standards and reference architecture across AWS, Azure, and/or Google Cloud
- Acting as design authority for complex cloud, hybrid, and multi-cloud initiatives
- Leading the design of AI-ready and GenAI-enabled cloud architectures, including secure data platforms and scalable inference patterns
- Owning cloud transformation assessments, defining target architectures, migration strategies, and phased roadmaps
- Applying and enforcing Well-Architected, security-by-design, and cost-optimisation principles
You will engage confidently with senior client stakeholders, clearly articulating architectural options and trade-offs. You will also contribute to proposals, offerings, and thought leadership within the Cloud & Infrastructure capability.
To be successful in this role, you will need a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university and extensive experience designing and governing cloud architecture across AWS, Azure, or GCP. You will also need hands-on experience with enterprise cloud platforms, application architectures, and hybrid environments. A professional-level cloud certification (AWS, Azure, or GCP) is also required.
Desirable experience includes leading large-scale cloud migration and modernization programmes, as well as a strong understanding of AI-enabled and GenAI cloud architectures. You should also be able to travel across client sites within the EMEA region and be fluent in spoken and written German and English.
