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
