AWS Industries (AWSI) is building a dedicated Security Specialist Sales team to proactively drive Security Services revenue growth across our customer base. As a Security Specialist Seller, you will serve as the primary "hunter" for AWS Security opportunities, independently generating demand, building executive-level CISO and Director-level relationships, and owning the security pipeline within your assigned territory. This is not an overlay or support role; you will originate, develop, and drive security deals from identification through close. You will be paired 1:1 with a dedicated Security Solution Architect and operate as a high-performance dual-coverage team alongside account teams, with clear swim lanes: you own the security strategy and pipeline, while account managers will own account orchestration and commercial execution.

Key job responsibilities
Proactively identify, generate, and own new security opportunities across assigned Industry Business Unit (IBU) territories; this is a hunter role, not reactive support

Execute targeted sales plays across greenfield scenarios (e.g., customers architecting security for new AI applications on Bedrock) and brownfield scenarios (e.g., consolidation and cost optimization)

Drive competitive displacement against incumbent security providers (e.g., Wiz, Microsoft) leveraging AWS Security Hub momentum and the broader AWS security portfolio

CISO Engagement
Build and maintain independent, trusted relationships with CISOs and security buying centers

Engage on board-level security concerns, including risk reduction, regulatory compliance, SOC productivity, total cost of ownership, and business continuity in complex cloud environments

Position AWS as the strategic security platform partner, articulating how multiple AWS security services deliver centralized visibility, consistent policy enforcement, and streamlined operations

Security Strategy
Demonstrate deep knowledge of the AWS Security portfolio spanning Threat Detection, Data Protection, Governance, and Network and Application Protection

Articulate competitive advantage over third-party security alternatives and position AWS-native security as a consolidation and cost-optimization play

Team Collaboration
Collaborate with AMs, in a dual-coverage model where you lead security origination and strategy and the AMs lead account-level orchestration and commercial execution

A day in the life
True ownership: You are not an overlay. You own the security buying center, build your own CISO relationships, and drive your own pipeline
Product momentum: Security Hub's launch at re:Invent 2025 has created immediate competitive displacement opportunities and strong customer demand
Strategic impact: By addressing security early and confidently, you remove blockers to broader workload migration, creating a multiplier effect that benefits the entire account team
Be a Pioneer. You will be part of a pioneering team transforming how AWS engages the security buying center, shifting from a reactive support model to a proactive, quota-carrying hunter motion.

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
