Director Amazon Delivery Partner Jobs in Raleigh, NC

The Amazon Web Services Professional Services (ProServe) team is seeking a Delivery Consultant specializing in Data to join our Healthcare and Life Sciences (HCLS) practice. You will be at the center of the most consequential shift in enterprise technology: making organizations truly AI-ready. Every agentic AI system, every foundation model grounded in enterprise knowledge, and every GenAI application that moves from prototype to production depends on the data layer beneath it - and that's what you build.
You will design and implement modern data platforms (lake, lakehouse, mesh), architect data pipelines that transform raw, fragmented data estates into governed, AI-ready assets; and design and implement enterprise RAG architectures, vector stores, semantic ontologies, and knowledge graph architectures that allow foundation models and AI agents to reason accurately, access data securely, and execute autonomously within regulated environments. You will work hands-on inside HCLS customer environments with complex data lineage, regulatory overlays (GxP, HIPAA, CDISC), and legacy systems, and ship production-grade data products that serve multiple downstream consumers, from ML model training to agentic orchestration layers.
The AWS Professional Services organization is a global team of experts that help customers realize their desired business outcomes when using AWS services. We work together with customer teams and the AWS Partner Network (APN) to execute enterprise cloud computing and AI transformation initiatives.
This role requires approximately 50% co-location on site with customer, AWS and partner teams within the U.S.

- Architect contextual knowledge layers, including ontologies and knowledge graphs leveraging AWS Context, Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, and custom ontology extensions to equip AI agents with the vocabulary and guardrails to reason accurately and execute autonomously within regulated environments
- Collaborate across organizational boundaries to secure data access, understand source system context, and resolve data quality challenges with teams across customer IT, business, and partner organizations
- Deliver iteratively when requirements are ambiguous, translating incomplete business needs into well-architected data solutions that can evolve as customer understanding matures
- Apply AI-DLC (AI-accelerated Development Life Cycle) methodologies to data delivery to redesign data workflows to become AI-native for accelerated scale and pace
