If you're looking to step into a senior role where you can take ownership, lead projects, and make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.

You're a highly experienced Infrastructure & Cloud Consultant with a strong background in leading complex, high impact solutions. You don't just deliver projects, you shape them. You act as a trusted technical advisor to customers, designing and architecting Microsoft based infrastructure and cloud solutions that align with business goals, not just technical requirements. You're comfortable influencing decisions, guiding cloud strategy, and providing expert recommendations to senior stakeholders, including C-suite.

You bring deep expertise across Microsoft technologies, including Azure, Microsoft 365, Windows Server, identity, security, and networking, and have a proven track record of delivering complex, multi phase and multi site projects. You're confident owning technical delivery end-to-end from pre sales input and solution design through to implementation, quality assurance, and successful transition into service.

You naturally take on a leadership role within delivery teams, acting as the technical escalation point, setting standards, and ensuring consistency across projects. You review and validate the work of others, mentor junior consultants, and contribute to raising the overall capability of the Professional Services function.

You're commercially aware and understand how infrastructure decisions impact business outcomes. You're confident challenging assumptions, pushing back on unrealistic designs or timelines, and offering well structured, scalable alternatives that balance risk, cost, and long term value.

You thrive in customer facing environments, building strong relationships and delivering a calm, confident experience throughout the project lifecycle. You communicate complex concepts clearly, helping organisations adopt new technologies with minimal disruption while ensuring they feel fully enabled and supported.

Beyond delivery, you contribute strategically to the business helping evolve technical standards, improve delivery frameworks, and shape the future of infrastructure and cloud services. You actively identify opportunities for automation, efficiency, and innovation, ensuring solutions remain modern, competitive, and aligned to best practice.

Above all, you're a technically strong, commercially aware, and strategically minded consultant who combines hands on expertise with leadership, delivering enterprise grade solutions and exceptional customer outcomes.
