Tasks

You are the bridge between technical feasibility and strategic decision. As a cloud consultant at T-Systems Austria, you will guide customers through their cloud transformation - from initial discovery to a business case ready for signature. Your work environment is the customer meeting, the whiteboard and the presentation to IT management and CTO, not the pipeline.

• Analyze customer needs and translate cloud transformation projects into structured solution architectures
• Lead discovery workshops and consultations with technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Develop and present business cases and decision templates for cloud migrations (lift & shift, replatforming, modernization)
• Assist customers with hyperscaler selection, sovereign cloud decisions, and FinOps governance
• Develop solution designs together with solution architects and anchor them in offers and RFP responses
• Coordinate customer projects and act as a central point of contact for technical and technical questions
• Documenting and sharing knowledge internally - you help build up the team's consulting expertise

Profil

Prerequisites

• 2-5 years of experience in IT consulting, cloud advisory or technical business consulting
• Profound understanding of at least one hyperscaler platform: AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud Platform - you can explain technical concepts without building them yourself on a daily basis
• Proven experience working with clients: workshops, presentations, stakeholder management
• Ability to translate technical issues into business value - for CTO levels as well as for specialist areas
• German C1 and English B2 - you advise customers independently in both languages
• University degree (FH/university, IT or business-related sector) or comparable professional experience - both equally valuable

Good to have

• Basic knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) - for credible advice, not daily use
• Overview of container technologies: Docker, Kubernetes - you understand what you recommend
• Familiarity with CI/CD concepts and GitLab-based delivery pipelines
• Open source technologies and Linux Foundation ecosystem (CNCF, ArgoCD, Prometheus) - for differentiated recommendations
• Keycloak or IAM concepts (OIDC, OAuth2) - relevant for consulting in regulated environments
• Knowledge of regulatory frameworks: GDPR, BSI C5, NIS2, DORA - you know what your customers need to comply with
• FinOps basics and cloud cost optimization

Beneficial

• Industry experience in regulated sectors: public sector, defense, energy, healthcare or financial services - you know the decision-making logic of these customers
• Certifications in public cloud solutions: AWS (e.g. Cloud Practitioner/Solutions Architect), Microsoft Azure (AZ-900/AZ-305), Google Cloud (ACE) or T-Cloud Public - active or in preparation
• Experience in bid management or RFP processes

We offer you

• Direct entry into customer projects with real decision makers - not just a support role
• Structured development path: Consultant → Senior Consultant → Principal Consultant → Managing Consultant
• Certification budget for AWS, Azure, GCP, and T-Cloud - including audit fees
• Hybrid working model: Vienna office, customer appointments and home office can be flexibly combined
• Access to pre-sales and bid experience right from the start - you learn how consulting business is created
