Cloud‑Computing Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Your Head in the (Right) Cloud Every major UK organisation—from the NHS to Formula 1 teams—now relies on cloud platforms to ship software, crunch data and delight customers. Amazon Web Services’ £8 billion data‑centre expansion alone is forecast to support 14,000 jobs per year and add £14 billion to GDP by 2028.

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.
