This organisation is a FTSE 250 technology and services provider, supporting major corporate and public sector customers across the UK and internationally.

We are seeking an experienced VMware professional with strong technical depth in private cloud environments, who can confidently lead customer conversations, influence solution direction, and act as a trusted subject matter expert. The ideal candidate enjoys problem-solving, working with senior technical stakeholders, and shaping architectural decisions rather than focusing purely on hands-on build.
You will join the Private Cloud practice with a focus on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), leading customer workshops, designing private cloud architectures, and guiding delivery teams through implementation. Working arrangements are hybrid, with remote work balanced against on-site time driven by customer engagement needs (typically 1–2 days per week, commonly London-based).
- Lead design workshops and architecture discussions with customers
- Develop VMware VCF private cloud solution designs and supporting documentation
- Support and guide delivery teams through build and integration phases
- Advise on platform strategy, migration and deployment approaches
- Work closely with customer and internal technical stakeholders
- Mentor team members and contribute to practice capability development
- Feed into continuous improvement of private cloud propositions
Requirements:
- Strong experience with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF 5.2 or 9.x)
- VCP-VCF9 certification, or willingness to complete certification immediately
- Ability to lead customer-facing design conversations with confidence
- Strong communication, documentation and stakeholder engagement skills
- Experience with NSX and/or Aria Operations
- Broader datacentre or hypervisor exposure (storage, networking, Nutanix, Red Hat Virtualization, HCI platforms etc.)
- Experience working in regulated environments (Government, Defence, Financial Services)
- Ambition to progress toward VCAP / Architect-level certification
