Infrastructure Team Lead

Head of Cloud Infrastructure (Azure)

Location: UK (Hybrid, travel to client sites as required)

Salary: Up to £90,000 + bonus + benefits

Are you ready to lead, shape, and grow a high-performing Azure infrastructure practice?

We're looking for a Head of Cloud Infrastructure (Azure) to join our consultancy and take charge of designing, scaling, and delivering enterprise-grade cloud solutions for some of the UK's most ambitious organisations.

What you'll do

• Lead the design and architecture of secure, scalable cloud infrastructure on Microsoft Azure.
• Set the standards and frameworks for Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, Bicep, and ARM templates.
• Guide clients on Microsoft Fabric adoption - advising where it adds value and where alternatives are more effective.
• Own the technical vision across pre-sales, proposals, and delivery, including sizing and pricing solutions.
• Collaborate with C-level stakeholders, translating business needs into actionable cloud strategies.
• Mentor and develop a team of engineers and architects, fostering a culture of excellence and innovation.
• Drive practice development: reusable IP, accelerators, and internal initiatives that add measurable client value.
• Act as a trusted advisor, identifying opportunities to expand and grow client relationships.

What you'll bring

• Proven background leading Azure-focused infrastructure solutions in consultancy/professional services.
• Strong knowledge of Terraform, ARM, and Bicep with real-world IaC delivery experience.
• Experience advising on Microsoft Fabric and data-driven cloud ecosystems.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and modern engineering principles.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and business stakeholders.
• Desirable: exposure to cloud security (IAM, compliance) and containerisation (Kubernetes, Docker).
• A track record of leadership - mentoring teams, shaping strategy, or growing a practice area.

Why join?

• A consultancy that puts people and innovation first.
• The autonomy to own and shape a practice, not just deliver projects.
• Access to enterprise-scale programmes across finance, public sector, and technology.
• A collaborative culture where your ideas directly influence how we build the future of cloud infrastructure.

If you're ready to step up and lead the next wave of Azure cloud transformation, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now to become our Head of Cloud Infrastructure (Azure).
