Pr. Proserve Cloud Architect , Healthcare and Life Sciences

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Professional Services (ProServe) team is seeking an experienced technology leader to serve as a Specialist ProServe Cloud Architect (PCA) within our Healthcare and Life Sciences (HCLS) practice. This is a role requiring deep expertise in R&D, spanning both Research (drug discovery, translational science) and Clinical Development (clinical trials, regulatory submissions) — and the ability to flex across both domains. The role focuses on data and context layer architectures that unlock scientific and clinical data for AI-native workflows, powered by AI, GenAI, and Agentic AI. In this position, you'll serve as both a deep domain expert and a hands-on solution architect, counseling senior HCLS executives on designing AI-driven transformation programs that span the research-to-clinical development continuum — e.g., data foundations, ontology-orchestration architectures, and AI data-readiness strategies. You'll develop innovative go-to-market (GTM) strategies and perspectives on how data and context layers, knowledge graphs, and Agentic AI unlock value from early discovery through clinical development, creating repeatable solutions and accelerators that scale across Life Sciences customers. You'll collaborate with colleagues across the ProServe HCLS team and external Partners, working backwards from customer outcomes to design fit-for-purpose solutions and programs across R&D. This role requires expertise in AI, GenAI, and Agentic AI applied to Life Sciences R&D / Clinical Development, paired with experience in professional services and business development. The ideal candidate can flex seamlessly between research and clinical contexts — understanding both the science and the regulated data landscape. You think big, innovate, focus on customer objectives, execute at high standards, and maintain continuous curiosity.
