Job Description

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
