Principal Cloud Consultant - AWS

Role: Principal Cloud Consultant - AWS
Location: Leicestershire

Working Arrangements: Hybrid with 2 days per week, on average, in the office or on client site
Salary: Up to £150,000 plus benefits

You’re a senior cloud professional who loves mixing big-picture strategy with rolling up your sleeves on the tech. One day you’re leading a workshop with senior stakeholders, the next you’re deep in AWS, designing solutions, building PoCs, or helping engineers troubleshoot something tricky.

You’ve delivered large-scale cloud projects, know your way around Kubernetes, containers, and CI/CD, and you’re comfortable talking tech with both engineers and board members alike. You’ve been doing this for a while now and maybe feel like your skills aren’t being stretched enough where you are - so finding a role that lets you shape vision and still keep your hands on the tech is exactly what you’re after.

Sound familiar? Then keep reading - this could be your next role.

In this role, you’ll:

• Lead cloud strategy and architecture for major enterprise clients in finance, tech, and consumer goods.
  
  
• Support engineering teams with design, PoCs, and hands-on technical leadership.
  
  
• Balance high-level client work with hands-on delivery.
  
  
• Play a key role internally too - from mentoring and line management (up to 4 people), to hiring and thought leadership.
  
  
• Adapt to different client needs, whether that’s a quick-fire engagement or a long-term transformation.
  
  What we’re looking for:
  
  
• A strong background in cloud engineering and architecture - especially AWS and, to a lesser extent, Azure.
  
  
• Experience with Kubernetes, containers, CI/CD, microservices, and event-driven design.
  
  
• Someone who can bring a sense of gravitas in front of C-Suite stakeholders and still enjoys being on the tools.
  
  
• A collaborative leader who gets stuff done, and is pragmatic, professional, and direct.
  
  Why this role?
  
  
• The best of both worlds - influence at the highest level while staying close to the tech.
  
  
• Hybrid working with flexibility and variety - client site, office, or home.
  
  
• Competitive salary (up to £150k) with benefits.
  
  
• The chance to shape not only client outcomes but also the consultancy’s future cloud capability.
  
  If you love cloud tech, enjoy solving tough challenges, and want a role where strategy and hands-on delivery go hand in hand, then apply now or get in touch to find out more!
  
  We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background
