Crucially, hiring managers say that around 40 % of cloud vacancies centre on governance, product, finance and client‑facing disciplines rather than hands‑on infrastructure. This guide reveals the fastest‑growing non‑technical roles, the transferable skills you already possess, and an actionable roadmap to join the UK’s booming cloud economy—no YAML files required.
