AWS Cloud Architect, Technology Consulting- London, Leeds, Manchester or Newcastle in England

We recognise that great talent comes in many forms and welcome conversations about part-time or flexible working arrangements for this role. Are you passionate about developing a career in technology? Does the idea of working for different clients on complex business-critical IT projects excite you? At Credera, we define, design, implement and migrate to public, private and hybrid Cloud for our clients. We help identify and avoid common misconceptions and maximise the benefits of a cloud transformation programme.

Our Cloud Architects identify, design and implement the tools clients need to best host their IT infrastructure and deliver value. Combining delivery best practices with the latest technologies, we help solve complex business challenges. Typically, our technical cloud work contains significant elements of defining, designing and building cloud architectures, security solutions and cloud platforms as well as having a solid understanding of infrastructure and on-prem technologies.

For our technical consultants, we expect a significant level of hands-on experience with cloud/infrastructure related technologies and a desire to maintain a balance between technical and business skills as they grow their careers within the firm. Based out of any of our UK offices, this is a permanent role within our Cloud Function. At Credera, we operate a flexible hybrid working model. This requires 3 days per week working onsite - either at client site (as required) or in your local Credera office (London, Manchester, Leeds or Newcastle). We value collaboration and client impact, so our hybrid model is designed to strike a balance between flexibility, in-person connection, and delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients.

• Staying up to date through further learning, attendance at events and monitoring market trends and developments;

Key Attributes:

You have demonstrable knowledge and experience in at least one of the three fields:

• Cloud strategy and transformation;
