Strategic Cloud Solutions Architect
The Opportunity:
At a certain point, experience-based system design can start to look like clairvoyance. When you’ve developed so many systems that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technology-based challenge, but you can also anticipate and preempt future issues, you’re a solutions architect. You’ve evolved your skills into strategy through a long path of software development accomplishments and the curiosity to understand how all the pieces of an IT ecosystem fit together. Are you ready to use your combination of knowledge, skill, and experience to take on the toughest challenges in health?
As a Lead Strategic Cloud Solutions Architect on our team, you will demonstrate visionary prowess in cloud technology and strategic implementation. This pivotal role involves designing, articulating, and executing sophisticated cloud solutions, with a special emphasis on government and federal health sectors. You will combine technical expertise with strategic acumen, outstanding communication skills, and a knack for client engagement. You'll architect and deploy strategic cloud solutions, ensuring scalability, security, and innovation, particularly for government and federal health clients. You'll lead and inspire cross-functional teams in cloud and digital transformation initiatives, demonstrating strong leadership skills and a self-starter attitude to proactively address challenges and drive projects to completion. You'll directly engage with clients, providing expert consultations, and presenting tailored, secure cloud solutions to meet their specific needs. You'll also develop and deliver compelling presentations, proposals, and communications to effectively showcase the value of our cloud solutions, with a special focus on contributing to Requests for Proposals (RFPs). You'll also facilitate workshops and training sessions on cloud technologies and security best practices, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement within the team and among clients.
