About the Role We are hiring a senior Azure-focused technical leader to own the buildout of our Microsoft ecosystem from the ground up. This role is ideal for someone who has designed Azure environments hands-on, led at least one cloud migration, and enjoys working closely with stakeholders to drive adoption and alignment.

Design and stand up a brand-new Azure environment from scratch, including identity, networking, security, and governance
Lead the transition from a Google-based environment to a Microsoft-first ecosystem
Serve as the technical owner for Azure architecture decisions and best practices
Partner with internal stakeholders to align technical solutions with business goals
Lay the foundation for data pipelines and reporting, with Power BI as the long-term reporting platform
Support the roll-out and adoption of Jira for project and work tracking
Influence and guide the existing IT team through technical decisions and change
What We Are Looking For This role requires both technical depth and strong communication skills. The right person can build, explain, and lead.
Must-Have Experience
Hands-on experience designing and building Azure environments from the ground up
Strong Azure architecture knowledge, including Entra ID, networking, security, and governance
Real cloud migration experience, ideally GCP to Azure
Deep understanding of the Microsoft ecosystem, including Azure and M365
Ability to explain technical decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
Nice to Have
Experience with Azure data services such as Azure Data Factory, Azure SQL, Synapse, or Fabric
Infrastructure as Code experience with Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates
CI/CD experience using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions
Microsoft Azure certifications, especially Azure Solutions Architect Expert
Work Style and Team Fit
Comfortable being hands-on while also guiding others
Able to gain buy-in and build trust with existing teams
Approaches change thoughtfully and collaboratively
Enjoys operating in environments that are growing and evolving
Why This Role
Opportunity to architect and influence a Microsoft ecosystem from day one
High visibility role with real ownership and impact
Collaborative team that values communication and practical solutions
Balanced environment that values simplicity over over-engineering
Onsite Requirement This role requires working onsite three days per week to collaborate closely with the team. Candidates must be comfortable and enthusiastic about this level of engagement.
