£1,000 per day Hybrid – London
Reinsurance
We’re working an Insurance firm on a high-impact Azure migration programme, and they’re looking for a hands-on Cloud Infrastructure Architect to lead the final stage of their migration from on-prem VMware to Azure AVS.
This is a strategic yet deeply technical role, shaping the way they deploy and operate its cloud infrastructure going forward.
The Role
* Lead the AVS migration, working closely with Microsoft and cloud delivery partners.
* Drive the Infrastructure-as-Code transformation — moving from legacy Terraform to Azure Verified Modules (AVM).
* Design and implement robust Azure infrastructure, including networking, DR, backup, monitoring, and FinOps.
* Collaborate across security, operations, and strategy teams to build a secure-by-design, automated cloud environment.
* Provide leadership and technical authority to partners delivering cloud optimisation, testing, and documentation.
What You’ll Bring
* Expert-level knowledge of Azure Infrastructure, AVS, and Terraform/AVM.
* Proven experience leading large-scale cloud migrations.
* Deep understanding of IaC, automation, disaster recovery, and cost optimisation.
* Strategic thinker with the ability to challenge the baseline and make things better.
* Self-driven, delivery-focused, and confident engaging senior stakeholders.
This is for a hardcore Azure architect who can balance strategy with execution — designing the future while fixing the now.
