Senior Director, Cloud Solutions Architecture

About the role

Ensono is seeking a highly technical, execution-focused Senior Director of Cloud Solutions Architecture to lead and scale our Cloud Solutions Architect (SA) team. This is a player-coach leadership role — you will guide and develop a high-performing team of SAs while maintaining strong hands-on technical depth to architect and validate complex cloud migration solutions across Ensono’s full cloud portfolio.

You will serve as a strategic and technical authority within the Solutions organization, partnering closely with Sales, Delivery, and Product to drive revenue, win deals, and ensure technically sound, differentiated cloud solution designs — particularly across cloud migration, managed services, and cloud transformation engagements.

Team Leadership & Development

• Lead, mentor, and scale a team of Cloud Solutions Architects, fostering a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous learning.
• Define SA team standards, playbooks, and best practices for solution design, customer engagement, and technical presales.
• Drive consistent quality across all SA-produced deliverables — architecture diagrams, SOWs, TCO analyses, and HLD/LLD documentation.
• Set performance goals, conduct reviews, and invest in career development across the SA team.

Technical Solution Design & Architecture

• Personally lead and contribute to the architecture of complex cloud migration solutions — including workload categorization (Category 1/2/3), application transformation strategy, IaaS/PaaS designs, and multi-cloud landing zone patterns across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
• Oversee the design and delivery of Ensono’s Cloud Activate and Cloud Migrate solutions, ensuring reference architectures align with Ensono’s standard service components and best practices.
• Design solutions across the full Ensono Cloud Transform Framework: Cloud Activate, Cloud Migrate, Cloud Optimize, Cloud Operate (Fully Managed, Co-Managed, Self-Managed), Cloud Enable and Cloud Innovate.
• Architect and validate solutions leveraging cloud connectivity services (e.g., Azure ExpressRoute, AWS Direct Connect) and managed networking patterns.
• Guide teams in applying Infrastructure as Code (IaC), automation, governance, RBAC, and security controls aligned to Ensono’s Cloud Enable standards.

Pre-Sales & Client Engagement

• Partner with Sales and Account Management as a senior technical authority in client-facing engagements — presenting complex cloud architectures, migration strategies, and managed service models with credibility and clarity.
• Lead and support TCO and cloud readiness assessments, application migration planning, and Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) design discussions.
• Contribute to RFP responses, proposals, and SOW development, ensuring technical accuracy and commercial viability.
• Represent Ensono’s cloud capabilities as a thought leader with prospects, clients, and industry forums.

Strategy & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with the VP of Solutions, cloud delivery, and product teams to align solution designs with Ensono’s evolving service portfolio and go-to-market strategy.
• Identify gaps in tooling, process, and skills; drive continuous improvement in how the SA team builds and delivers cloud solutions.
• Stay current on cloud platform innovations across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
