Cloud & Platform Engineering Advisory Consultant

About The Job You're Considering

The infrastructure landscape is evolving rapidly as organisations seek greater standardisation, automation, and strategic guidance on their journey to the cloud. At Capgemini, our Cloud Infrastructure Services (CIS) team is at the forefront of this transformation—helping clients navigate complexity with clarity, creativity, and confidence.

The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

We’ll carry out a series of pre‑employment checks, including identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and an unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service).

• Partner with Senior Leaders (including CxOs) and advise on large‑scale transformation deals and complex programmes to drive the growth agenda within Cloud and Platform Engineering.
• Build and nurture long‑term relationships with clients and internal teams, creating shared value and trust.
• Apply your technical expertise and problem‑solving mindset to design innovative, practical solutions for complex challenges.
• Represent the CIS Advisory team in key forums, contributing to strategic initiatives and thought leadership.
• Collaborate across diverse teams, supporting knowledge sharing, mentoring, and continuous learning.

• Experience designing and implementing cloud solutions using AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud (certifications are a plus).
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform or Cloud Formation.
• A strong understanding of cloud strategy, platform engineering, and operating models, with hands‑on experience in areas like automation, containerisation (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), and Fin Ops.
• Ability to translate business needs into scalable, user‑centric cloud solutions.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a focus on thought leadership and solution development.
• A growth mindset and a commitment to continuous improvement—for yourself, your team, and your clients.
