Sr. Migrations Sales Specialist , Enterprise Energy

Enterprise infrastructure is at an inflection point. Organizations running legacy on-premises environments - including millions of VMware workloads - are rethinking their infrastructure strategy as economics shift, licensing models change, and cloud-native architectures become the standard for agility, security, and innovation. AWS is uniquely positioned to help customers navigate this transformation - whether they are migrating virtual machines to Amazon EC2, adopting Amazon Elastic VMware Service (EVS), modernizing to containers, or pursuing complete data center exits powered by AI-driven assessment and automation tools like AWS Transform.AWS serves millions of customers in more than 190 countries, reshaping the way global enterprises accelerate business capabilities and powering the next generation of industry leaders. As enterprises confront rising infrastructure costs, vendor lock-in, and the imperative to modernize for AI readiness, the opportunity to redefine how the world builds and runs its foundational infrastructure has never been greater.AWS is seeking a Migration Sales Specialist to drive the next chapter of growth for Infrastructure Migration and Modernization (IMM). You will shape the strategy for how AWS brings migration and modernization solutions to market for Energy customers - defining the vision, executing compelling customer and GTM/sales strategies, and orchestrating programs that accelerate customer adoption at scale. You'll be helping customers move from legacy infrastructure to cloud-native environments, executing GTM motions around an evolving portfolio of services and solutions, and rallying cross-functional and field teams to execute with speed and precision during a time-bound market disruption.You are a strategic thinker who operates with urgency. You combine deep business acumen with enough technical depth to be credible with CIOs and IT infrastructure leaders. You've built GTM strategies from scratch, rallied cross-functional teams around a shared vision, and delivered measurable business results. You're energized by ambiguity and large-scale market transitions - because that's where the biggest opportunities live.Key job responsibilities- Execute the GTM strategy for Infrastructure Migration and Modernization - identifying high-value customer segments, developing differentiated migration pathways, and building programs that create new customer pipeline, drive acquisition, and accelerate the journey from on-premises infrastructure to AWS.- Shape the narrative around the future of infrastructure modernization - positioning AWS as the leader in AI-powered migration assessment, automated workload transformation, and complete data center exit solutions that unlock innovation and reduce total cost of ownership.- Engage directly with enterprise leaders, partners , and customers to communicate the AWS migration and modernization value proposition, connecting infrastructure challenges (cost escalation, vendor disruption, technical debt) to measurable business outcomes.- Establish data-driven mechanisms to measure adoption, track program effectiveness, and continuously optimize ROI across the migration and modernization portfolio.- Evangelize AWS migration and modernization solutions externally through thought leadership, events, customer roundtables, and industry engagement - and internally across AWS to drive mindshare and investment.- Own the strategic business development plan, orchestrating key internal stakeholders (sales, product, engineering, legal, support, partners) to align behind a unified growth agenda for Energy customers.- Orchestrate field uptake and execution of key sales plays and programs - including partner-led motions, regional roadshows, and community-driven enablement - delivering value to customers through repeatable, scalable mechanisms.A day in the lifeNo two days look the same. You might start the morning with a customer meeting, then find yourself aligning with product teams on a new migration service launch, then shift to coaching field sellers on a high-value customer engagement. After lunch, you're analyzing pipeline data to refine targeting, joining a partner strategy call, or prepping an executive briefing for a CIO evaluating their data center exit. You'll end the day reviewing proof-of-concept results and shaping the narrative for an upcoming industry event - always connecting dots across customers, services, and teams to accelerate outcomes.About the teamYou'll join a high-performing Specialist Sellers that operates at the intersection of strategy and execution.
