Cloud Consultant

Do you have previous delivery experience using cloud technology (Azure, GCP or AWS)?

Company background and role information

At ProjectiveGroup, we live and breathe technology. As a specialist independent consultancy we believe that cloud computing is the next General Purpose Technology, with a massive untapped potential to unleash productivity in the Financial Services sector.

Many of our clients have made a start in utilising cloud, but for most, the hard work lies ahead. We help them re-orientate their thinking on the products, platforms and practises that will power their business for the 2020s and beyond. For us cloud is not just a new technology, but a paradigm shift for high-performing organisations.

As part of our growth, we are looking for knowledgeable individuals who can help grow and develop our established cloud team. Our preferred candidate is a “T-shaped” individual; someone with a broad base of at least 2 years’ delivery experience using cloud technology (Azure, GCP or AWS), coupled with in-depth knowledge on a specific topic such as DevOps, automation, testing, data management, ML or DataOps.

Your knowledge and experience will mean that you are comfortable contributing to and leading both technically-focussed engagements and the creation of strategies and roadmaps. You will also have the opportunity to help shape the growth of our cloud practice, so any experience in sales or business development will be extremely beneficial. You must be comfortable engaging with client stakeholders at all levels, from both a technical and non-technical background.

Sound good? Here’s more detail on what the responsibilities for this role include:

• Delivery of cloud consulting packages for clients, including:
  • Cloud introductory sessions;
  • Readiness assessments;
  • Maturity assessments against industry frameworks;
  • Roadmap development;
  • Regulatory alignment reviews;

• Developing the growth of the Cloud Practice through pre-sales engagements, marketing content creation and new products and services development;

• Guiding internal staff development, including involvement in junior staff training and onboarding.

• Excellent oral and written communication skills and an ability to present difficult concepts well and in simple terms;
• Experienced in building excellent client relationships and stakeholder management;
• Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills;
• Experience in proposal and strategy creation;
• Experience in the Financial Services sector is highly desirable.

Ok, I'm interested, what can I expect?

• No micromanagement, no office politics, a clean flat structure. We don’t work with titles and our managing partners still do work at clients.
• Amazing benefits, incl. a company car, variable salary component, meal vouchers, an annual training budget and incredibly fun, surprising and memorable (informal) gatherings and events.
• Opportunities to develop new skills and progress your career in the direction you see fit.
• A hybrid mix of office and home-based working. There’s a bonus to coming to the office though: we have a very nice bar!
• We are a growing team of +- 200 consultants active in 5 European countries today (UK, NL, DE, FR & BE). Next to that, we are part of ProjectiveGroup, forming a broader ecosystem together with Exellys, Enigma, Mastermind and DTSQUARED to be able to offer our clients the best possible solutions. The ProjectiveGroup story is only getting started and we believe it’s an exciting time to make your mark!
