Senior Delivery Consultant – Modernization, Professional Services, AWSI HCLS
About the role
The Amazon Web Services Professional Services (ProServe) team is seeking a Principal Delivery Consultant to serve as a technical leader for large-scale Healthcare and Life Sciences (HCLS) transformation programs. In this role as an individual contributor, you will define and own the technical vision across several concurrent workstreams spanning AI/ML, data platform modernization, and enterprise architecture.
Responsibilities
Enterprise Architecture Ownership & Technical Standards: Define and own the end-to-end technical architecture for large-scale HCLS transformation programs, setting reference architectures, re-usable patterns, and technical standards that ensure coherence across 50+ AWS, partner, and customer builders. Establish operational foundations for agentic AI including multi-model governance, observability, automated guardrails, and secure multi-agent orchestration
Executive Technical Advisory & Decision Shaping: Bridge the gap between customer enterprise architects' expectations and pragmatic delivery, counseling executives on major technology choices (total cost of ownership, time-to-value, build vs. buy) and influencing technical decisions across customer and partner teams without direct authority, earning credibility through depth and clarity
Cross-Team Alignment & Architectural Governance: Drive alignment across teams with sometimes diverse technical opinions, resolve architectural conflicts, adapt architecture mid-flight as program needs evolve, and coach engineers across partner organizations who do not directly report to you, raising the technical bar across the entire delivery organization. Champion responsible AI practices including bias detection, model explainability, and alignment with AWS's AI service guardrails
AI/ML, Data & Knowledge Architecture: Continuously grow expertise across AI/ML, enterprise architecture, and data engineering and industry depth in HCLS, maintaining knowledge at the frontier of AWS service innovations, prescriptive guidance (e.g. Well-Architected Agentic AI Lens, Generative AI Lifecycle framework, and AI-DLC methodology), and translating those innovations into the specific HCLS customer context
AI-Native Delivery Transformation: Drive AI-DLC (AI-Driven Development Life Cycle) methodologies across the delivery organization, redesigning delivery models for accelerated scale and pace, steering multi-agent systems at scale using patterns such as supervisor-worker hierarchies, workflow orchestration, and saga orchestration as defined in AWS prescriptive guidance, and embedding AI-native workflows into program execution to maximize builder productivity, to achieve step-change improvements in builder productivity and time-to-value
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree, or 7+ years of professional or military experience
Experience facilitating discussions with senior leadership regarding technical / architectural trade-offs, best practices, and risk mitigation
Experience working with fast-moving, high-performance teams and driving innovative solutions tailored to unique business environments
5+ years of experience in enterprise technology architecture delivery, with experience influencing technical teams and defining and governing technical architecture on complex transformation programs
Depth in one or more of the following technical areas: AI/ML, enterprise architecture modernization, or data architecture and engineering, demonstrated through technical leadership of enterprise-wide transformation programs at leading global enterprises
