SOC 3556 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,200, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2139 (Information technology professionals not elsewhere classified., Technical account manager role focused on AWS cloud/IT solutions) or SOC 2432 (Marketing and commercial managers, Marketing and commercial manager driving revenue and market share). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
Description
Are you passionate about the future of aviation and helping organisations transform how they deliver safe, efficient, and seamless air travel experiences? Do you have the business acumen and technology leadership background necessary to help establish Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a key technology platform provider across the UK's aviation sector?
This is an exciting opportunity to drive growth and shape the future of cloud-native technology adoption across some of the UK's most critical aviation infrastructure operators — from the world's busiest international airport to the organisation managing millions of flights through UK airspace annually.
You will be joining at a pivotal moment as UK aviation surpasses pre-pandemic passenger volumes, operators face intensifying regulatory and commercial pressure to modernise safety-critical systems, and the UK Government's transport infrastructure investment programme explicitly ties funding to technology adoption. Your role will be to help these organisations harness AI, IoT, and cloud-native architectures for real-time operations management, predictive maintenance, and passenger experience optimisation — where system reliability carries the highest possible safety implications.
You will possess both a customer-obsessed attitude and a strong understanding of how UK aviation organisations operate — from airport operators and air navigation service providers to regulators — and the unique challenges they face when making technology decisions in safety-critical, highly regulated environments. You will have an ability to build relationships at all levels within customer organisations, driving tangible outcomes aligned with the sector's twin imperatives of operational resilience and passenger experience transformation. You are a self-starter who wants to build a business, drive measurable customer outcomes, and make a real difference in how the UK flies.

Key job responsibilities
- Drive revenue growth and market share across the Roads, Regulation, and Regional Transport territory, encompassing National Highways, DfT, TfL, TfGM, TfWM, DVLA, and DVSA
As an Account Manager in the Aviation territory, no two days are the same. You might start the morning preparing for a strategic engagement with Manchester Airports Group leadership on their AI-powered Digital Colleague Workplace programme, before joining a cross-functional working session with Solutions Architects and partners to shape a proposal for NATS' next-generation air traffic management platform.
In the afternoon, you could be facilitating a workshop with Heathrow on how data analytics can optimise airport operations and passenger flow, followed by a pipeline review with your manager and specialist overlay teams. You'll regularly engage with DfT aviation policy teams to understand how airspace modernisation and sustainability targets create technology opportunities, and work with the CAA on regulatory digital service transformation.
Your internal stakeholders include Solutions Architects, Professional Services, Partner teams, and Specialist sales overlays. Your customers are senior technology and operational leaders within airports, air navigation service providers, airlines, and aviation regulatory bodies. The problems you solve span infrastructure modernisation, safety-critical systems transformation, data-driven operational efficiency, and enabling the sector's ambition to deliver safer, more sustainable, and better-connected aviation through technology.
