About The Position

We are seeking an experienced and well-rounded VP of Cloud Engineering, Operations & Delivery to lead our cloud practice across a diverse portfolio of industry verticals. This role sits at the intersection of technical authority, executive leadership, and forward-thinking innovation — someone who brings genuine cloud engineering depth, while also driving strategy, client relationships, and organizational growth. You will lead high-performing teams delivering complex, multi-cloud solutions across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, setting the technical bar while ensuring the business delivers on its commitments. Critically, you will help shape and lead our evolution into an agentic AI-powered future — identifying opportunities to transform how our teams and our clients design, deploy, operate, and optimize cloud infrastructure using AI agents and intelligent automation. The ideal candidate is a natural communicator who can shift seamlessly from an architecture discussion with engineers to a strategic briefing with a client's executive team — and be credible in both rooms. They are also someone who looks at today's manual, repetitive, or complex processes and asks: "How do we let intelligent agents handle this?"
