ALLIANCE SOLUTION ENGINEER, AWS (Pre-Sales Engineer) 

Location: US

Focus: Technical Pre-Sales & Co-Sell Support 

Region: North America 

The Opportunity 

VML Enterprise Solutions is expanding our technical pre-sales capability to support AWS alliance-powered growth in North America. We're seeking a hands-on technical expert to prove the value of our joint AWS solutions—delivering demos that wow, POCs that convert, and reference architectures that accelerate pursuits. 

This role bridges AWS technology and VML delivery, providing co-sell technical support that removes doubt, proves feasibility, and gives clients confidence that VML can deliver. You will work alongside Alliance Sales and Alliance Solution Leads to support pursuits with technical depth, proof-of-concept delivery, and client-facing credibility. 

Your POCs become production systems. Your architectures become blueprints for transformation. Your technical credibility tips competitive pursuits in VML's favor. 

Role Summary 

This is a technical pre-sales role focused on enabling AWS co-sell success. You provide hands-on technical support for AWS-related pursuits across North America—building reference architectures, delivering client-facing demos, and leading POC engagements that prove VML's delivery capability. 

Accountability Model: Delivery metrics. Success is measured by POCs delivered, POC-to-production conversion rate, reference architectures created, and technical win rate on supported pursuits. 

Core Responsibilities 

1. Co-Sell Technical Support (50%) 

• Provide technical pre-sales support for AWS co-sell opportunities across North America 

• Deliver compelling technical demos and presentations to client technical teams alongside AWS SAs

3. Enablement & Knowledge Sharing (20%) 

• Train VML delivery teams on AWS technologies and implementation patterns

Team Leadership & Management 

Accountability: Accountable for individual technical contribution. Mentorship and knowledge sharing expected but not primary measure of success. 

Leadership Expectations: Train and mentor delivery teams on partner technologies. Share best practices and technical standards across the organization. Coordinate with partner technical resources on joint solutions. 

Management Scope: Individual contributor; may mentor junior engineers and coordinate with partner technical resources. 

Success Metrics 

• POCs delivered (20+ annually)

• Experience supporting co-sell motions with AWS field teams

Role Positioning 

This is a technical expert role that enables co-sell success—not a quota-carrying seller, alliance relationship manager, or post-sale delivery engineer. 

You will be in the room for technical deep-dives with AWS SAs and client architects. You will build the POCs that prove we can deliver on AWS. You will create the architectures that become client solutions. And you will be the technical credibility that tips competitive AWS pursuits in VML's favor. 

Your technical excellence directly enables AWS alliance revenue growth.

Adobe Solutions Architect – Multi-Product

VML | Adobe Experience Cloud Practice

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Adobe Solutions Architect to serve as the most senior technical voice across our Adobe Experience Cloud engagements. This is a cross-platform, enterprise-level role — spanning the full Adobe ecosystem and responsible for connecting strategy, data, and technology into cohesive, scalable solutions.

You'll work across multiple Adobe products simultaneously, owning the technical vision, governance, and architecture alignment that underpins how our clients' digital ecosystems perform. This isn't a single-product specialist role — it's for someone who can see the whole board.

The Impact You'll Make

As the senior technical lead on enterprise Adobe engagements, you will:

• Define and own the end-to-end Adobe solution architecture across client environments
• Ensure cross-product integration is seamless, scalable, and aligned to business objectives
• Serve as the primary technical authority in client conversations, workshops, and executive briefings
• Bridge the gap between business strategy and technical execution — translating complex requirements into elegant, achievable designs
• Champion technical governance and best practices across all Adobe implementations

Core Responsibilities

Solution Architecture & Design

• Lead the design of multi-product Adobe Experience Cloud solutions, integrating across AEP, AEM, Marketo, Analytics, Target, and beyond
• Define cross-platform data flow strategy — from ingestion and transformation through to activation and measurement
• Architect solutions that are scalable, maintainable, and aligned to enterprise technology standards
• Produce high-quality solution design documentation, architecture diagrams, and technical roadmaps

Enterprise Integration & Governance

• Establish and enforce technical governance frameworks across client Adobe ecosystems
• Ensure consistent data architecture principles are applied across all integrated products
• Define standards for identity management, data taxonomy, and platform configuration
• Identify and mitigate technical risk across complex, multi-workstream programmes

Client & Stakeholder Engagement

• Act as the most senior technical voice on projects — advising CTO, VP, and Director-level stakeholders
• Lead technical discovery sessions, architecture reviews, and solution workshops
• Translate business requirements into clear, actionable technical recommendations
• Build trusted, long-term relationships with client technology and digital teams

Team Leadership & Enablement

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to solutions architects, developers, and data engineers
• Review and approve technical designs produced by other team members
• Collaborate with programme managers, strategists, and experience leads to align technical and business workstreams
• Contribute to internal capability building — developing best practices, frameworks, and knowledge assets

What You'll Bring

Essential Experience

• Senior-level, hands-on experience across multiple Adobe Experience Cloud products
• Deep expertise across two or more of the following:
• Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) / Real-Time CDP
• Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) — Sites and/or Assets
• Marketo Engage — Marketing Automation & Lead Management
• Adobe Analytics — Implementation, data layer design, and reporting architecture
• Adobe Target — Personalisation and A/B testing strategy
• Proven ability to design and deliver enterprise-scale, cross-platform Adobe solutions
• Strong understanding of data architecture, integration patterns, and API-led connectivity
• Experience defining technical governance standards in complex enterprise environments
• Comfortable as the senior technical lead in client-facing settings — including C-suite and VP-level engagement
• Excellent communication skills — able to articulate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

Nice to Have

• Adobe certification(s) across one or more Experience Cloud products
• Experience working in a consultancy or agency environment, managing multiple clients simultaneously
• Familiarity with complementary platforms (Salesforce, Microsoft, SAP, CDP alternatives)
• Background in digital experience strategy or martech consulting
• Experience leading technical teams of 5+ people across multi-workstream programmes

What Makes This Role Unique

This isn't a role for someone who operates in a single lane. You'll be:

• Connecting the dots across the entire Adobe ecosystem — not just one product
• Shaping how clients think about their technology landscape, not just delivering against a brief
• Working at the intersection of strategy, data, and experience — with the technical depth to back it up
• Playing a key part in growing VML's Adobe practice — your work will influence how we pitch, deliver, and evolve our offering

Who You'll Work With

You'll collaborate closely with:

• Client technology and digital leads — often VP or Director level
• VML strategy and experience design teams — ensuring technical and creative vision are aligned
• Data engineers and developers — providing technical direction and quality oversight
• Programme and delivery managers — ensuring architecture supports delivery timelines and scope

About VML Health:  

VML HEALTH is a global healthcare agency that partners with healthcare clients across a broad definition of health, from high science to wellness and everything in between. It operates fluidly within the VML agency, as a core group of health specialists (a ‘vertical’) that has the benefit of autonomy in management, but with support of non-health expertise.  

At the heart of health is the story of life – all the highs and lows, ambitions, and possibilities. But facing a health challenge can suddenly pull people away from these stories, knocking them off course. 

Our purpose is to bridge this gap, bringing people closer to life and all its meaning. We gain a deeper understanding of Healthcare Professionals’ and patients’ needs, behaviors and lived experiences through what we call ‘radical empathy’. 

VML Health creates connected brands that get to the heart, bringing people closer to the lives they want to live.  Get to the heart. Connect for life.
