We are working with a leading professional services firm to find a senior Azure Engineer / Architect to design and own a new Azure platform from the ground up. The firm is investing seriously in its own digital infrastructure to support innovation and scalable delivery across its Consulting practice. You will work closely with digital leadership, delivery teams and internal security and cloud teams to shape, build and govern that environment.
What you will be doing:
- You will own the target architecture for Consulting's Azure platform - defining environments, shared services and reusable components.
- You will act as the Azure design authority, setting standards and guardrails that balance innovation with firm-wide compliance.
- Security-by-design is central to the role, working closely with Risk, Privacy and InfoSec teams.
- You will lead FinOps practices and own operational processes covering provisioning, monitoring, resilience and disaster recovery.
- You will be hands-on - building and configuring core platform components, mentoring the team, and acting as the escalation point for Azure across Consulting.
What they are looking for:
- Significant hands-on experience designing and operating Azure environments in a regulated or enterprise context.
- Strong across Azure core services: Entra ID, RBAC, managed identities, VNets, private endpoints, firewalls, Azure Policy, governance frameworks.
- Experience defining platform-level architecture, not just individual workloads.
- Infrastructure-as-code in practice.
- Cloud operating models, environment management and FinOps.
- Confident with senior stakeholders - able to challenge constructively and hold a position.
