Company & role
This role sits within a live Microsoft 365 and Azure transformation programme for an enterprise client.
The programme spans tenant migrations, consolidations and separations, alongside modern workplace, security and compliance work across the Microsoft stack.
Azure is the backbone of it, with Azure Virtual Desktop and Nerdio central to how the environment gets delivered and managed.
You will be the senior technical voice on Azure infrastructure within a wider consulting team, working directly with technical and business stakeholders across a fast moving, multi-workstream delivery.
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a genuinely urgent, high visibility piece of work, not background BAU.
You are brought in to own a specific, technically demanding slice of a live programme.
Azure Landing Zones, AVD and Nerdio sit at the centre of the role rather than being one line among many, so you are working deep in your specialism rather than spread thin across the whole Microsoft stack.
Outside IR35, remote, six months with scope to extend, and an immediate start for the right person.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement Azure Landing Zones aligned to business and technical requirements
- Own AVD and Nerdio deployment, configuration and optimisation across the environment
- Lead discovery, assessment and architecture workshops across Microsoft technology domains
