Delivery Consultant - Amazon Connect, AWS Professional Services

The Amazon Web Services Professional Services (ProServe) team is seeking a skilled Amazon Connect Specialist Consultant to join our team. In this role, you will work closely with customers to design, implement, and deliver Amazon Connect solutions that meet their technical requirements and business objectives. You will be a key player in driving customer success through their contact center transformation journey, combining hands-on technical expertise with functional business analysis to deliver production-grade contact center solutions across the full project lifecycle. Typical engagements involve migrating customers from legacy contact center platforms such as Genesys and Avaya to Amazon Connect or from other cloud / CCaaS platforms like NICE, Genesys, Cisco and others. You will operate at the intersection of technology and contact center operations: eliciting requirements from business and operational stakeholders, documenting current-state and future-state call flows, designing the agent and customer experience, and translating those functional designs into working Amazon Connect implementations. As much of the value in a Connect migration lies in capturing and re-imagining the functional behaviour of the contact center, this role blends solution delivery with structured business analysis. As a Connect Specialist Consultant, you will possess a deep understanding of Amazon Connect, contact center operations, and AWS products and services. You will be proficient in architecting scalable, secure contact center solutions, and equally comfortable running discovery workshops, mapping IVR and routing logic, and producing the functional documentation that delivery teams depend on.
