About the Role
AWS is seeking an experienced healthcare technology leader to drive long-term proposition development for the NHS. This is a strategic, outward-facing role that combines deep NHS domain expertise with the ability to shape and architect cloud-enabled solutions addressing systemic challenges in the health service. You will act as the bridge between NHS clinical and operational realities and AWS's technology capabilities—translating policy intent into deliverable cloud propositions, working 12-36 months ahead of procurement cycles to shape demand, and ensuring AWS is positioned as the strategic platform of choice when buying decisions crystallise.

This role is ideal for someone with a CTO, CDIO, or senior digital leadership background in the NHS who wants to apply their expertise at a national scale, shaping propositions that will transform care delivery across the system.

Key Responsibilities:
1/ Develop and own long-term (2-5 year) cloud propositions aligned to NHS strategic priorities
2/ Translate NHS policy (10-Year Health Plan, NHSE mandates, ICS strategies) into actionable AWS account plans
3/ Engage at CIO, CDIO, CCIO, and Medical Director level as a credible peer—understanding clinical workflows, operational pressures, and governance constraints from first-hand experience
4/ Shape NHS procurement criteria and architecture standards ahead of formal tender processes
5/ Lead proposition development for complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives
6/ Work with AWS Solutions Architects, Partner teams, and ISVs to build reference architectures, business cases, and proof-of-concept designs
7/ Represent AWS at national policy forums, NHS boards, and industry bodies—contributing thought leadership on cloud-enabled health system transformation
8/ Advise the AWS UK Healthcare leadership team on NHS strategic direction, emerging opportunities, and competitive positioning
9/ Build relationships across the NHS ecosystem including NHSE, DHSC, ICSs, NHS Trusts, Royal Colleges, and regulators

A Day in the Life:
No two days are the same. You might start the morning preparing a cloud business case for a Trust CFO and spend the afternoon on-site with a CDIO reviewing their digital roadmap. You will balance strategic account planning with tactical deal execution—shaping infrastructure strategies, navigating procurement frameworks, designing resilient architectures with Solutions Architects, briefing leadership on pipeline progress, attending NHS industry events and ICS board meetings, and hosting innovation days connecting clinicians with AI and data tools.

Some weeks you will be deep in complex multi-stakeholder procurements; others you will run proof-of-concepts demonstrating measurable productivity gains. The pace is high, the impact is real, and you will be at the centre of the UK's most significant healthcare transformation, working with senior leaders making technology decisions that will shape patient care for the next decade.

Experience
- Building strategic relationships with stakeholders across teams and functions
- Working in healthcare environments
- Building and managing a healthy sales pipeline focused on driving revenue, adoption, and market penetration

About You
You have a strong NHS background, ideally with experience as a CTO, CDIO, or senior digital leader.

You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are passionate about transforming healthcare through cloud technology.

Qualifications
- Preferred experience implementing cloud-based technology solutions or architecting/operating solutions built on AWS
