Solutions Architect, Consumer Packaged Goods
About the role
AWS Global Sales drives adoption of the AWS cloud worldwide, enabling customers of all sizes to innovate and grow. Our team empowers every customer by providing tailored service, compelling technology, and hands-on support. We take the time to understand each customer's unique challenges, from demand forecasting and trade promotion optimization to supply chain resilience and direct-to-consumer transformation, then build solutions that accelerate their outcomes. This customer-first approach is how we built the world's most adopted cloud. Join us and help us grow. As a trusted customer advocate, the Solutions Architect will help Consumer Packaged Goods organizations within the Retail, Restaurants and Consumer Goods (RRCG) vertical understand best practices around advanced cloud-based solutions, and how to migrate and modernize existing workloads to the cloud. You will have the opportunity to help shape and execute a strategy to build mindshare and broad adoption of AWS within enterprise CPG, with a specific focus on how Generative AI and Agentic AI are reshaping how CPG companies operate, compete, and serve consumers. The ability to connect technology with measurable business value is critical to a Solutions Architect. You should have a demonstrated ability to think strategically about business, products, and technical challenges unique to the CPG space, including revenue growth management, shopper personalization, intelligent supply chain, and AI-powered product innovation. As CPG companies move from piloting Gen AI to deploying autonomous agents across their value chains, you will help them navigate that shift with confidence and speed.
A day in the life The Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) Solutions Architecture team partners with some of the most innovative brands and manufacturers in the industry. We are builders and trusted advisors with deep expertise across commerce platforms, supply chain modernization, real-time analytics, and AI-driven personalization. We celebrate curiosity, share knowledge freely, and take pride in the impact we deliver for customers and the broader AWS community. If you are energized by the intersection of technology and consumer goods, this is the team for you. No two days look the same as a CPG Solutions Architect. Your morning might kick off with a customer architecture review, helping a global CPG brand design a peak-season scaling strategy on AWS. By midday, you are collaborating with your account team on a proposal for a manufacturer exploring Generative AI to reinvent how they connect with consumers. Afternoons bring deep-dive whiteboarding sessions, internal knowledge sharing, or contributing to a CPG reference architecture. You close the day connecting with a senior engineering leader, building the trust that turns customers into cloud advocates. And somewhere in between, you get to do genuinely cool things: building Agentic AI workflows that automate complex supply chain decisions, experimenting with the latest foundation models, and helping CPG leaders imagine what their business looks like when AI is woven into everything. It is fast, meaningful, and never boring.
