About the role

We are hiring a bar-raiser — a hunter and thought leader who will build HCLTech’s AWS business in ANZ into a market-leading partnership across the region. You will operate as an entrepreneurial individual contributor, backed by a team of technical architects, working through influence across sales, delivery, pre-sales and Centres of Excellence to convert AWS-aligned ambition into revenue, margin and marquee wins.

If you have built partner-led businesses at leading consulting firms, global technology majors or domain-specialist and hyperscaler organisations, and you want a canvas to shape strategy, own outcomes and be recognised for it, this role is designed for you.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN (KPIS)

  • CxO Advisory: Business Value Realization, Techno-functional and commercial advisory to senior client stakeholders — the how, when and where of value.
  • Growth & GTM: Go-to-market strategy, revenue, margin and funding — from lead generation through opportunity hunting to close.
  • Operations: Pre-sales, RFP responses, CRM discipline, cadences, governance and financial construct.
  • Long-Term Planning: Breakthrough objectives, strategic initiatives and replicable models that scale.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Consulting & Client Advisory

  • Advise clients on business value derived through cloud, credibly and commercially.
  • Bring hands-on understanding of cloud implementation, program management, cloud architecture, accelerators, commercial propositions, innovation and investments.

Strategy & Thought Leadership

  • Build dominant strategies to win against both generalist and specialist competition.
  • Balance short-term operations with a long-term strategic view.
  • Read domain and cloud trends, and help HCLTech navigate structural, strategic and system changes to stay ahead of the curve.
  • Represent HCLTech in industry and AWS forums and roundtables.

Business Development & Growth

  • Drive net-new business through a combination of incumbency, competencies and influence.
  • Partner with Sales to grow the AWS pipeline by aligning to customer and AWS objectives, and by leading with account planning over a top-down approach.
  • Apply strong command of fixed-price and outcome-based commercial models, including investment structuring.

AWS Partnership

  • Understand AWS’s broad objectives and individual KPIs, and align them through joint planning and operational excellence.
  • Engage the AWS relationship at every level — Country leadership, Partner leadership, Specialised units and Strategic functions — to advance shared objectives.
  • Work closely with AWS, including ProServe, and constructively manage conflicts and channel challenges.
  • Build and sustain strong personal relationships at Account Management and Partner Sales level.
  • Engage AWS on forward-looking technology and specialised AWS programs.

Operational Excellence

  • Run partner hygiene with discipline — Partner Finder, partner matching and scoring, targeted account management with clear problem statements and solutions, securing face-time and creating forums.
  • Own revenue tracking, CRM management, ACE creation and cadences; provide ball-park AWS estimates and high-level deal structures.

AI Fluency

  • Bring a solid understanding of AI technology, tools and AI economics, and a working AI value framework.
  • Treat AI as inherent and core to everything we do.
  • Offer fresh perspectives on AI trends and challenges, grounded in substance.

WHO YOU ARE

  • A bar-raiser. The ambition to be the best.
  • A hunter. A genuine hunting mindset oriented to net-new logos and opportunities.
  • Entrepreneurial. An individual contributor who leads a team of technical architects and works through influence across sales, delivery, pre-sales and CoEs.
  • A fast learner. You learn quickly from what is working and what is not, and adjust.

EXPERIENCE WE VALUE

  • A track record of building partner-led, net-new business — ideally gained at leading consulting firms, global technology majors, or domain-specialist and hyperscaler organisations.
  • Prior experience working with AWS senior leadership, or having performed a similar senior partnership function.
  • Demonstrated success in FSI and/or enterprise accounts across the ANZ markets.
  • Fluency in cloud economics, commercial modelling and AI value creation.
