At Kyndryl, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission‑critical technology systems that the world depends on every day. We are always moving forward – always pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities.

The Role

As Director, AWS Technology & Innovation Leader, you will drive cloud transformation initiatives across enterprise clients.

  • Advise account teams and client leadership (CIO, CTO) on future‑state architectures and innovation roadmaps.
  • Co‑develop joint offerings, accelerators, reference architectures, and proof‑of‑concepts with AWS solution architects and alliance leaders.
  • Mentor and enable internal teams to elevate AWS technical capabilities and certifications.
  • Oversee technical due diligence, solution reviews, RFP responses, and deal qualification.
  • Define and embed repeatable frameworks and architecture patterns to scale AWS‑led solutions.
  • Represent Kyndryl in AWS and industry forums to strengthen strategic partnerships.

  • Demonstrated experience engaging with C‑level executives and technical leadership in large enterprise clients.
  • Deep technical knowledge of AWS services—including but not limited to infrastructure, data & analytics, AI / ML, security, application modernization.
  • Proven track record in leading large, cross‑functional teams in technical pursuits, defining architectures, and executing transformation programs.
  • Strong communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Travel 15% – 20%.
  • Preferred

  • Master’s degree or MBA or similar advanced degree.
  • AWS Certifications (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect – Professional, AWS Certified DevOps, etc.).
  • Prior experience in alliance management, co‑innovation programs, or technical leadership within hyperscaler partnerships.
  • Experience with mainframe modernization or hybrid cloud strategy is an advantage.
  • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

  • Growth in AWS‑led pipeline and revenue influenced by your technical leadership.
  • Number and quality of joint offerings, proof‑of‑concepts, and reference architectures delivered with AWS.
  • Client satisfaction and trust, particularly at the CIO / CTO level.
  • Technical team enablement : improvements in capability, certifications, or architectural maturity.
  • Innovation uptake : measurable deployment of new AWS‑driven technologies or modernized solutions.
  • Compensation and Benefits
