Sr. Solutions Architect, Consumer Packaged Goods

Amazon • Boston, MA

1d

About The Position

AWS Global Sales drives adoption of the AWS cloud worldwide, enabling customers
of all sizes to innovate and grow. Our team empowers every customer by providing
tailored service, compelling technology, and hands-on support. We take the time
to understand each customer's unique challenges, from demand forecasting and
trade promotion optimization to supply chain resilience and direct-to-consumer
transformation, then build solutions that accelerate their outcomes. This
customer-first approach is how we built the world's most adopted cloud. Join us
and help us grow.

As a trusted customer advocate, the Solutions Architect will help Consumer
Packaged Goods organizations within the Retail, Restaurants and Consumer Goods
(RRCG) vertical understand best practices around advanced cloud-based solutions,
and how to migrate and modernize existing workloads to the cloud. You will have
the opportunity to help shape and execute a strategy to build mindshare and
broad adoption of AWS within enterprise CPG, with a specific focus on how
Generative AI and Agentic AI are reshaping how CPG companies operate, compete,
and serve consumers.

The ability to connect technology with measurable business value is critical to
a Solutions Architect. You should have a demonstrated ability to think
strategically about business, products, and technical challenges unique to the
CPG space, including revenue growth management, shopper personalization,
intelligent supply chain, and AI-powered product innovation. As CPG companies
move from piloting Gen AI to deploying autonomous agents across their value
chains, you will help them navigate that shift with confidence and speed.

A day in the life
The Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) Solutions Architecture team partners with some
of the most innovative brands and manufacturers in the industry. We are builders
and trusted advisors with deep expertise across commerce platforms, supply chain
modernization, real-time analytics, and AI-driven personalization. We celebrate
curiosity, share knowledge freely, and take pride in the impact we deliver for
customers and the broader AWS community. If you are energized by the
intersection of technology and consumer goods, this is the team for you.

No two days look the same as a CPG Solutions Architect. Your morning might kick
off with a customer architecture review, helping a global CPG brand design a
peak-season scaling strategy on AWS. By midday, you are collaborating with your
account team on a proposal for a manufacturer exploring Generative AI to
reinvent how they connect with consumers. Afternoons bring deep-dive
whiteboarding sessions, internal knowledge sharing, or contributing to a CPG
reference architecture. You close the day connecting with a senior engineering
leader, building the trust that turns customers into cloud advocates. And
somewhere in between, you get to do genuinely cool things: building Agentic AI
workflows that automate complex supply chain decisions, experimenting with the
latest foundation models, and helping CPG leaders imagine what their business
looks like when AI is woven into everything. It is fast, meaningful, and never
boring.
