How you will contribute - Serve as senior technical advisor on cloud strategy and hybrid infrastructure engagements
- Lead workload rationalization assessments - classifying workloads for rehosting, replatforming, refactoring, or retirement
- Design hybrid/multi-cloud target architectures across classification levels and operating environments
- Develop cloud migration roadmaps with decommission gating to ensure on-premises capacity retires as workloads migrate
- Advise on cloud vendor strategy, including multi-vendor approaches, lock-in mitigation, and contract terms optimization

- Demonstrated experience leading enterprise migration programs (500+ workloads)
- Deep understanding of security requirements in regulated environments (FedRAMP, IL certifications, HIPAA, SOC2)
