Azure Consultant

Azure Consultant

Remote (UK-based) with occasional travel

Salary: £55,000 – £65,000 DOE

• Do you enjoy designing and building Azure environments at a platform level — networking, security, and infrastructure?
• Are you confident working across Azure networking, governance, monitoring, and security?
• Do you like working with clients to shape and deliver Azure solutions end-to-end?

Important

This role is focused on Azure platform and infrastructure (backend) not end-user or device-focused technologies.

If your experience is primarily around Microsoft 365, Intune, or endpoint management, this is unlikely to be the right fit.

The Opportunity

We are working with a growing Microsoft-focused consultancy delivering Azure platform and cloud solutions to clients across the UK and internationally.

This is a consultative, project-focused role, where you will work closely with clients, architects, and delivery teams to design and implement Azure solutions.

This is a project-led Azure platform role, not support and not end-user focused.

The Role

You will be involved in the full lifecycle of Azure projects, from discovery and design through to implementation and optimisation.

This will include:

• Working with clients to understand requirements and shape Azure solutions
• Designing environments aligned to Azure best practice and well-architected frameworks
• Delivering migrations from on-premise to Azure (IaaS / PaaS)
• Configuring and optimising Azure infrastructure and platform services
• Supporting technical project delivery alongside wider teams
• Producing clear documentation (designs, diagrams, runbooks)

You may also work alongside development teams where required, supporting Azure DevOps and cloud-based delivery.

What we are really looking for

This is a backend Azure role.

You should be confident across:

• Azure networking – VNets, subnets, NSGs, firewalls, connectivity
• Azure security – Defender for Cloud, security controls, hardening
• Governance – policies, standards, well-architected environments
• Monitoring & alerting – Azure Monitor, logging, visibility

You should be comfortable thinking about Azure as a cloud platform or data centre, rather than an extension of Microsoft 365.

Alongside this, you should have:

• Experience delivering Azure migrations (on-prem cloud)
• Strong understanding of IaaS and PaaS services
• Experience in a client-facing or consultancy environment
• The ability to design solutions, not just implement them

Nice to have:

• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar)
• Azure DevOps / CI/CD exposure
• Broader Microsoft stack (M365, Entra ID)

The type of person who will do well here

• You enjoy working directly with clients and translating requirements into solutions
• You think about design, security, and long-term supportability
• You are comfortable explaining technical concepts clearly
• You want to work on meaningful Azure projects, not tickets

Why this role

• Project-led, consultancy environment
• Exposure to a wide range of Azure environments and clients
• Opportunity to develop into architecture or specialist Azure roles
• Supportive, growing business with a strong technical focus
