• Architectural Partnership: Collaborate with engineering leads to shape technical architecture across AWS platforms, including Glue, Lambda, Aurora, S3, EMR, and DynamoDB.

• Program Execution: Lead the end-to-end delivery of scalable ETL pipelines and data integration strategies to support legacy-to-modern system transitions.

• Governance & Alignment: Own program plans, cross-team alignment, risk mitigation, and executive reporting across internal and external stakeholders.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Serve as a strategic liaison between clients, engineering, and product to ensure architectural decisions align directly with business outcomes.

• TPM Enablement: Build frameworks, documentation, and onboarding paths to support incoming TPMs and scale operational excellence.

Required Skills & Experience

• 7+ years of experience in technical program management, client-facing solutions architecture, or engineering leadership.

• Proven experience managing large-scale data discovery, mapping, and business justification workflows for 1,000s of data attributes across complex legacy client bases.

• Demonstrated ability to serve in a high-impact customer-facing capacity, aligning multi-client needs to platform roadmaps.

• Strong technical knowledge of AWS data services, including Glue, Lambda, Aurora, EMR, DynamoDB, and S3.

• Hands-on experience with ETL processes, batch processing, Spark/PySpark, and enterprise data migration initiatives.

• Familiarity with distributed systems, CI/CD pipelines, and container orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes.

• Proven track record in executive stakeholder engagement, strategic roadmap planning, and end-to-end program delivery.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications
