Role Purpose
The Lead Cloud Migration Architect is the owner of the technical outcome for a wave-based application migration and modernization programme delivered across Azure and AWS cloud platforms, working alongside the Project Delivery Lead, who holds ultimate ownership of the programmed overall. This role functions as the programme’s enterprise architect, owning the alignment of the migration approach and tooling/AI usage with the customer’s business needs, policies, and procedures across application, infrastructure and cloud, data, and business architecture, and working closely with the Security Lead to ensure the same alignment holds for security architecture.
