Job Description

This is a great opportunity to join our client who is undertaking a major transformation of its Azure cloud platform and operational model.

They are now transitioning toward a modern, governance-led Azure platform capability aligned to Microsoft Landing Zone principles, the Azure Well-Architected Framework, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and a multi-supplier operating model. To support this transition, our client requires an experienced Azure contractor to augment the existing Cloud Office capability by providing additional hands-on engineering, operational architecture, and technical delivery support across the Azure platform estate. The role is intended to increase the operational bandwidth and technical delivery capability of the existing Cloud Office function, enabling the internal cloud leadership and architecture function to focus on future-state platform strategy, target operating model definition, supplier transition activity, and strategic governance.

  • Work with POL Cyber and SIEM teams regarding Splunk integration and security monitoring
  • Support incident investigation, root cause analysis, and platform troubleshooting

  • Participate in technical workshops, knowledge transfer sessions, and transition activities
  • Support technical review of supplier deliverables and operational approaches
  • Provide pragmatic engineering guidance to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Produce and maintain technical documentation, standards, and operational artefacts
