You will provide well-informed advice for ongoing ICT cloud adoption. You will regularly evaluate cloud services, software and hardware that are part of the ICT ecosystem.
Experience with architecting solutions that run on or integrate with public cloud services such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft's Azure is highly desirable.
You will have good interpersonal, oral and written communication skills and you will be comfortable in presenting, negotiating, and facilitating technical solutions coupled with good client relationship management skills. Experience in vendor/partner management is essential.
