Application deadline: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis
The Amazon Web Services Professional Services team is seeking a skilled Delivery Consultant specializing in VMware to AWS migrations. In this role you will work closely with customers to design, execute, and manage large-scale VMware estate migrations to AWS, delivering measurable business outcomes across every phase of the programme lifecycle. You will be a key player in driving customer success, providing technical expertise, migration best practices, and hands-on delivery leadership from initial assessment through production cutover.
With deep expertise in VMware environments and AWS migration services, you will lead enterprise data centre exit programmes spanning multiple countries and regulatory jurisdictions. You will assess VMware workloads through discovery tooling and application owner interviews, define migration strategies and target architectures, assign R-strategies across the portfolio, and design wave plans that respect dependency groupings, capacity constraints, and regulatory frozen zones. As a trusted advisor you will guide customers through risk mitigation, architecture decisions, and the organizational change that large-scale VMware exits require.
The AWS Professional Services organization is a global team of experts that help customers realize their desired business outcomes on AWS. We work together with customer teams and the AWS Partner Network to execute enterprise cloud computing initiatives through a collection of offerings that help customers achieve specific outcomes related to cloud adoption and migration at scale.
What Makes This Role Different
VMware estates are not just infrastructure. They are the operational core of enterprise businesses built over decades. You will not be running a lift and shift.

Define migration strategy and target architecture for VMware workloads, translating technical choices into business outcomes for executive audiences
Design and own wave plans including dependency grouping, capacity balancing, cutover sequencing, and multi-geography coordination under regulatory constraints
Apply AI-powered and agentic migration tools including AWS Transform, ModelizeIT, Kiro, and equivalent tooling to accelerate discovery, assessment, and migration execution at scale
Lead large delivery teams and matrix organizations, driving alignment across business and technology stakeholders throughout the program lifecycle
Partner with AWS Migration Services including Application Migration Service (MGN), Database Migration Service (DMS), and Migration Hub to execute migrations with precision and repeatability
Provide technical guidance and troubleshooting support throughout delivery, ensuring adherence to AWS Well-Architected principles and optimizing wave sequencing to minimize risk and business disruption
Act as a trusted advisor to customers on VMware licensing optimization, infrastructure modernization, and emerging AWS capabilities relevant to their environment
Share knowledge within the organization through mentoring, training, and creating reusable migration artifacts, runbooks, and cutover playbooks that partners can execute at scale
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
- 10+ years of cloud architecture, solution implementation, or consulting experience with a focus on large-scale cloud migration and modernization programs
- Experience leading the delivery of large-scale, mission-critical enterprise IT and migration programmes including data center exits in a customer-facing role
- Deep hands-on experience with VMware environments including vSphere, vCenter, NSX, vSAN, and ESXi administration and migration
- Experience as the technical lead of large-scale migrations, defining migration strategy and target architecture, selecting the right approach for each workload, and translating technical choices into business outcomes for executive audiences
- Experience using AI-powered and agentic migration and modernization tools such as AWS Transform, ModelizeIT, Kiro, or equivalent to accelerate discovery, assessment, and migration execution at scale
- Hands-on experience with technology infrastructure including network, compute, storage, and virtualization
- Experience with wave planning including dependency grouping, capacity balancing, and multi-geography coordination under regulatory constraints
- Experience leading large teams and matrix organizations and driving alignment across business and technology stakeholders
- Experience with the software development lifecycle and agile and iterative delivery methods
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Work experience in financial services including banking, capital markets, payments, or insurance, with regulated workloads and compliance and security standards
- Deep knowledge of AWS services including EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, IAM, and VPC, and AWS migration services including Application Migration Service, Database Migration Service, and Migration Hub
- AWS Professional level certifications including Solutions Architect Professional or DevOps Engineer Professional
- VMware certification including VCP, VCAP, or equivalent
- Experience with two or more migration domains beyond VMware such as SAP, Windows and SQL Server, database migrations including Oracle licensing and PostgreSQL, or mainframe
- Experience with infrastructure as code, automation, and scripting including Terraform, CloudFormation, Python, and PowerShell
- Experience with public, hybrid, and multi-cloud platforms including VMware Cloud on AWS
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity in complex multi-vendor environments with incomplete documentation and conflicting data sources while prioritizing needs and delivering measurable results

Senior Consultant Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a senior consultant in Colorado?
Most senior consultant roles in Colorado require a bachelor's degree and several years of progressively responsible consulting or industry experience. Colorado does not issue a state license specific to management or business consulting, so advancement depends on demonstrated client results, depth of subject-matter expertise, and recognized credentials such as a Project Management Professional certification or a Certified Management Consultant designation from the Institute of Management Consultants USA. Many Colorado employers also value an MBA from institutions like the University of Denver or the University of Colorado.
How much do senior consultants make in Colorado?
Senior consultants in Colorado earn a median of about $104,750 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $41,050 for the lowest 10% to over $204,240 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire senior consultants in Colorado?
Companies currently hiring senior consultants in Colorado include Deloitte, Amazon Web Services, and Plante Moran, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Colorado's federal contractor community and energy sector also generate consistent demand from firms with long-term government and infrastructure engagements in the Denver metro and Colorado Springs areas.
Which Colorado cities have the most senior consultant jobs?
Denver, Colorado Springs, and Colorado account for the largest share of senior consultant openings in Colorado. Denver's concentration of professional services firms, corporate headquarters, and federal agencies drives the bulk of demand, while Boulder's technology and research ecosystem and Colorado Springs' substantial defense and government contractor base create a steady secondary market for experienced consultants.
Are there remote senior consultant jobs in Colorado?
Yes, and more than most fields, since senior consultant work is largely analytical, advisory, and deliverable-driven rather than tied to a physical site. About 78% of senior consultant openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the profession's broad compatibility with distributed work. Strategy, technology, and financial advisory projects are the most commonly offered in fully remote or hybrid arrangements.
How can I get hired as a senior consultant in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing an analyst or associate consultant role and building toward the senior level from within. Large Colorado employers such as Deloitte's Denver office, Accenture, and IBM often run structured analyst programs for recent graduates from the University of Colorado, Colorado State University, and the University of Denver. Earning a Project Management Professional certification or a Lean Six Sigma credential while in an entry role strengthens your case for promotion. Adjacent roles in business analysis, operations, or program coordination are also common stepping stones into consulting at Colorado firms.
Where can I find and apply to senior consultant jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to senior consultant jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from Colorado employers. Search the available roles, identify the ones that match your background and target location, and apply directly to the positions that fit.
