Senior Solutions Architect, United Nations, Public Sector

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most comprehensive cloud platform, and our Worldwide Public Sector team helps mission-driven organizations use the cloud to scale their impact. Within Public Sector, our United Nations territory serves some of the most recognizable institutions in the world, including United Nations agencies, intergovernmental organizations, and global bodies whose mandates reach nearly every country and hundreds of millions of people. As a Senior Solutions Architect supporting UN customers, you will be the trusted technical advisor to CTOs, CIOs, Directors of Technology, and their engineering leaders at these globally distributed institutions. You will help them modernize legacy systems, build AI-powered services for their constituencies, unlock insights from decades of programme and operational data, and scale secure digital platforms that operate across regions, languages, and data-sovereignty requirements. You will work closely with Account Managers, Business Development, Partners, and Professional Services to design and deliver cloud solutions that solve real mission problems. That ranges from migrating off on-premises and other public cloud estates, to modernizing enterprise applications and constituent platforms, to modernizing contact center and constituent engagement channels with Amazon Connect, to launching generative AI assistants that improve programme delivery, to building data platforms that unify operational, programme, and member-state data. You will lead architecture reviews, run customer-facing workshops such as Immersion Days, Well-Architected Reviews, and GenAI build days, and earn customer trust through deep technical expertise and genuine curiosity about their mission. Work with United Nations customers is consultative, high-trust, and deeply relationship-driven. These customers are not simply buying technology. They are stewarding the trust of member states and the communities they serve, protecting sensitive personal data, and answering to governing bodies that expect both mission impact and operational excellence. This role calls for an SA who can move fluently between whiteboard-level architecture conversations, hands-on prototyping, and executive-level strategic discussions.
