Role: Head of Cloud (Azure)
Reports To: Director of Technology
Contract Type: Full Time, permanent
Location: Richmond UK, Remote (UK based)
About the role:
A senior leadership role owning the strategy, reliability, and evolution of our entire Azure estate - infrastructure, networking, cloud security, budget management, and platform engineering. You'll report to the Director of Technology, manage a team of Cloud Engineers, and own the platform underpinning our consumer-facing products, data platform, and internal tooling. The estate runs a hub-and-spoke landing zone, AKS-hosted microservices, event-driven architectures, and a growing Databricks data platform, and we're migrating off a legacy VM estate toward cloud-native services. You'll balance perfection against expediency to meet business needs, embedding yourself across technology, product, and commercial - setting expectations, building trust, and striking the right balance between short- and long-term goals.
Note from Liam Bennett, Director of Technology:
The automotive classifieds market has stagnated - prices keep rising, innovation has slowed, and the consumer experience hasn't evolved in over a decade. Dealers want alternatives and consumers deserve better.
We acquired Cazoo in 2024 for one reason: brand. Cazoo spent £100M+ building 60% consumer awareness and genuine trust, and that brand equity is irreplaceable. But we didn't buy it to repeat old mistakes — we rebuilt from scratch: new tech stack, new business model, new approach.
Since relaunching in May 2025 we've seen early traction. Now we need a Head of Cloud to ensure our platform is secure, resilient, and ready to scale. Our Azure estate is the backbone of everything - a modern hub-and-spoke landing zone, AKS-host
