Sr. Delivery Consultant - Security, Global ProServe Security

The Amazon Web Services Professional Services (ProServe) team is seeking a hands-on, security-focused Delivery Consultant to join our team. You will design, build, and implement security solutions in real customer environments — writing infrastructure as code, engineering detective and preventive controls, and architecting security into workloads from the ground up. You'll work at the intersection of cloud architecture and security engineering, helping customers embed security as a foundational capability rather than an afterthought. The emphasis in this role is on engineering automated, repeatable security controls that scale across complex environments.

You’ll partner with customers navigating complex cloud transformations — helping them build security architectures that are automated, scalable, and operationally sustainable. You will bring deep knowledge of AWS security services and a builder's mindset, working across identity, network security, data protection, detection and response, and infrastructure security — designing solutions that let customers move fast and stay secure.

As a trusted technical advisor, you will guide customers through security architecture decisions, threat modelling, and the implementation of security controls across multi-account environments. You will lead by building — producing working code, reusable patterns, and reference architectures that customers and the broader community can adopt.

Customers innovate with AWS Professional Services, upskill with AWS Training and Certification, optimize with AWS Support and Managed Services, and meet compliance objectives with AWS Security Assurance Services. Our expertise and emerging technologies include AWS Partners, AWS Sovereign Cloud, and the Generative AI Innovation Center. You’ll join a diverse team of technical experts in dozens of countries who help customers achieve more with the AWS cloud.

UK citizenship and eligibility to obtain and maintain UK Government Security Clearance is required for this role.

Key job responsibilities

• Delivering security outcomes within customer engagements — designing and implementing automated security controls, architectures, and patterns within defined project workstreams using AWS security services and infrastructure as code.
• Solving security challenges independently — working across domains such as identity and access management, network security, data protection, and detection and response to build solutions tailored to customer environments.
• Collaborating with project teams and stakeholders — partnering with fellow consultants, customer engineers, and account teams to define and implement security solutions, and identifying follow-on opportunities where AWS can deliver additional value.
• Managing and escalating risks — proactively identifying security and delivery risks, presenting options and recommendations, and driving resolution within your workstream.
• Developing depth as a security domain expert — building recognised expertise in at least one security domain while maintaining broad working knowledge across AWS security services.
• Contributing to the broader security practice — participating in internal initiatives, contributing to reusable security content and reference architectures, and supporting knowledge sharing across the team.

Basic Qualifications

• Experience as technical specialist in design and architecture.
• Established depth in at least one or more security domain (e.g., identity and access management, network security, data protection, detection and response, application security, system and operations security).
• Experience implementing security solutions in AWS environments, including hands‑on use of AWS security services.
• Experience writing infrastructure as code (CloudFormation, CDK, or Terraform) to deploy and manage cloud resources.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience implementing multi-account security architectures using AWS Organizations, SCPs, and AWS Control Tower.
• Experience building automated detection or remediation workflows (e.g., EventBridge, Lambda, Security Hub custom actions).
• Experience securing workloads in regulated or government environments (e.g., UK public sector, financial services).
• Familiarity with container or serverless security (ECS, EKS, Lambda security configurations).
• AWS Security Specialty certification or AWS Solutions Architect Professional certification.

AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply.
