Why this role is different!

Act as design authority, shaping what gets sold and how it’s delivered

Work across Azure migrations, landing zones, and modern cloud platforms

Influence standards, frameworks, and reusable offerings

Join a collaborative team where pre-sales and delivery are genuinely aligned

The Role:

As a Cloud Solutions Architect, you’ll sit at the intersection of pre-sales, architecture, and hands-on delivery — playing a critical role in both winning and delivering high-quality Azure solutions.

You’ll work closely with Sales and Pre-Sales teams to shape opportunities, lead customer discovery sessions, and produce high-quality solution designs, before following those solutions through into successful delivery.

Key responsibilities include:

Pre-Sales & Solution Design

Lead technical pre-sales engagements, ensuring solutions are deliverable, scalable, and commercially sound

Run customer discovery workshops and cloud assessments across infrastructure, security, identity, and governance

Translate findings into clear recommendations, roadmaps, and executive-level outputs

Produce high-quality artefacts including SOWs, high-level designs (HLDs), and effort estimates

Act as technical sign-off authority for solutions before they are presented to customers

Support bids, RFPs, and customer presentations as the trusted technical expert

Delivery & Technical Leadership

Lead delivery of complex Azure projects including migrations, landing zones, and platform builds

Design and implement Azure environments aligned to Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) best practices

Own technical quality from project kick-off through to service transition

Act as the escalation point for technical issues, risks, and dependencies

Ensure delivery stays aligned to agreed scope, timelines, and effort

Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong technical culture

Practice Development

Contribute to repeatable service offerings, frameworks, and best practices

Build reusable artefacts including assessment tools, templates, and reference architectures

Stay current with Azure and Microsoft technology developments and share knowledge internally

The Candidate:

We’re looking for a well-rounded Cloud Architect who is equally comfortable in front of customers, designing solutions, and leading delivery.

You’ll bring:

Proven experience in a Cloud Solutions Architect, Pre-Sales Architect, or Senior Consultant role

Strong experience across the full lifecycle: discovery, design, SOW creation, and delivery

Hands-on delivery experience with Azure migrations, landing zones, and cloud platforms

Ability to balance technical excellence with commercial awareness (scope, effort, margin)

Confidence leading customer workshops and engaging with both technical and business stakeholders

Technical expertise in:

Azure architecture (IaaS & PaaS)

Networking, identity, and security (Entra ID, Conditional Access, networking design)

Azure migration tools and approaches (Azure Migrate, wave planning)

Governance and monitoring (Policy, Log Analytics, Azure Monitor)

Infrastructure as Code (Bicep, Terraform, or similar)
