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
