- You’ve got <2 years hands-on AWS architecture or no finance/contact centre experience.
- You’re looking for a people-manager job. This is 80% hands-on IC, 20% informal leadership.

You’ll:
- Architect greenfield AWS platforms from scratch for a global transformation program
- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with client teams on finance or contact centre builds
- Mix deep technical design with real consulting - you’ll influence, not just deliver

Must-haves for your CV:
- Extensive AWS Solution Architecture - key requirement
- 5+ years at Senior/Principal level
- Contact centre OR finance domain experience
- Deep AWS + ability to consult and lead client discovery

Bonus points: Security focus, AWS certs, retail background
Why it’s worth it:
You’ll build a core AWS platform for a global retail/e-comm org used by 100,000s daily. Think rotation across work, always-learning culture, real autonomy. No tests - just 3 conversational interviews. 2 stages with us, 1 with the end client. Looking to start ASAP.
Need to have:
- Commute to Heathrow 1 day/week
- UK based, no sponsorship needed
