• Communicate and document cloud and enterprise architecture in customer contexts, including common AWS service interactions and enterprise stack integration points
• Coordinate technical implementation in partnership with Program Managers across supporting verticals (Data Engineers, Support Engineers, Cloud Architects); track risks/issues, unblock decisions, and escalate appropriately
• Ensure System Integration Testing (SIT) is planned and executed against requirements, validate deliverables against acceptance criteria, and drive defect resolution; coordinate with customers on UAT and validation as needed
• Lead customer trainings and develop training curricula/materials (e.g., agendas, slide decks, exercises, and knowledge checks) to support adoption and sustainment
• Transition deliverables to Support/Operations with configuration and design documents, known issues, and handoff walkthroughs
• Identify and execute delivery process improvements (e.g., templates, checklists, tooling, and other artifacts)
• Contribute to practical standardization (e.g., reusable reference architectures, delivery playbooks, parser patterns) and share lessons learned to reduce rework
