Senior Cloud Architect (Consulting) (Multiple)

Location: Our offices are in Central London, along with several of our customers. Travel to our customer sites is required, the frequency of which will vary from customer-to-customer. You need to be able to travel onsite to London up to 3 days per week, although onsite requirements will vary week-to-week and customer-to-customer from 0 to 3 days.

Salary: £120,000-£140,000

SC Clearance Requirements: Due to working with several government bodies, SC clearance is required for all our customer facing teams. You do not need active SC clearance as we will undertake checks upon you joining, but you must be eligible to pass SC clearance. In future, DV clearance may be required, so the ability/willingness to pass DV clearance is advantageous but not essential. You must be UK-based.

About Us: We are experts in building central cloud platforms, cloud risk mitigation and cloud operating models; providing thought leadership to central government and private enterprise organisations to help them unlock the true value of cloud.
