Lead the charge by coordinating Customer Engineering Specialists, Sales Specialists, Google Cloud Consulting (GCC), and System Integrators (SIs) to eliminate technical silos for the account team.
Provide direct architectural leadership on massive, long-term deals for Tier-1 EMEA enterprises, partnering with Account Teams and C-suites to turn complex legacy estates into executable cloud transformations.
Reshape how technology enables business value rather than just moving workloads, by designing target architectures, evaluating Engagement Requests against STRIKE criteria, and building comprehensive TCO/ROI business cases.
Work on high-stakes, long-term deals and accelerate under-commit consumption by packaging dormant workloads into executable blueprints, driving adoption for strategic EMEA customers across various industries.

Experience leveraging AI to accelerate migrations and digital transformations.

Desired Qualifications

Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
Experience with generic cloud migration tools (e.g., Migration Center) and specialized tools (e.g., VMware vMotion, Oracle ZDM, Database DMA/DMS, Dual Run).
Experience with Core Architecture methodologies such as Migrate for Compute Engine, Cloud Migration Discovery/Planning, and Architecting for Resilience.
Broad architectural ecosystem expertise, including security, compliance, governance, networking, data analytics, and TCO/ROI estimations.
Proven track record working on AI and large-scale cloud adoptions at major cloud providers.
