Job Description
AWS Professional Services is seeking a Strategic Modernisation Consultant to lead a landmark Agentic AI-powered application modernisation program for one of Australia's largest mining and resources companies. This is a Perth-based engagement to modernise a complex, business-critical legacy platform using generative & agentic AI tooling, domain-driven decomposition, and cloud-native architecture patterns — compressing what would traditionally be a multi-year modernisation effort into an accelerated timeline. The program has already delivered significant value in its first year, validating the approach through working prototypes and measurable business outcomes.
You will be the senior technical and consulting leader for the engagement, responsible for modernisation strategy, executive stakeholder management, multi-partner delivery orchestration, and value realisation. You will lead a cross-functional team of 14+ engineers and architects across three parallel delivery squads, working alongside a global management consulting partner and the customer's internal technology teams.

Translate technical progress into business value language for executive and Board-level audiences
Executive Engagement
Operate as a trusted advisor to the customer's CDIO and senior technology leadership at peer level
Partner with delivery partners, including global management consulting leaders, maintaining accountability for technical outcomes within a joint delivery model

Orchestrate multi-partner delivery
