We are partnered with a client who is embarking on a major Digital Transformation roadmap. This programme will modernise legacy platforms and play a pivotal role in transforming both IT and wider operating systems.
We are seeking an experienced Infrastructure Solutions Architect to lead the design and delivery of modern infrastructure solutions, with a particular focus on transitioning from a Citrix-based VDI environment to modern, cloud-based or hybrid end-user computing models.
The successful candidate will work closely with architecture, delivery, operational teams and outsourced suppliers to ensure solutions are secure, scalable, resilient, and successfully transitioned into Business as Usual (BAU). This role is well suited to someone comfortable working in a complex enterprise environment with an established Azure footprint rather than purely greenfield deployments.
Key Responsibilities
Design and govern infrastructure solutions primarily across Microsoft Azure technologies
Lead and support the migration from Citrix VDI to modern EUC solutions (cloud or hybrid)
Ensure infrastructure designs meet security, resilience, governance, and operational standards
Collaborate with delivery and operations teams to enable smooth handover into BAU
Author, review, and present architecture designs, option papers, and recommendations to Architecture Working Groups and senior stakeholders
Act as a technical authority, engaging with suppliers, internal teams, and senior leadership
Required Technical Skills & Experience
Extensive experience with Microsoft Azure, including:
Architecture, Compute, Networking, Identity, Storage, and Security
Proven experience with Azure Dev Sec Ops
Strong proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep)
Experience leading or contributing to Azure migration and transformation projects
Hands-on experience with VMware environments
Strong background in Enterprise Strategy and Architecture (TOGAF and/or SABSA)
Experience implementing Zero Trust Architecture principles
Solid understanding of Fin Ops and cloud cost management
Azure certification:
Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305)
End-User Computing & Microsoft Platform Experience
Hands-on experience with:
Azure
Active Directory
Microsoft 365
Intune
Strong understanding of Citrix VDI environments and alternative EUC strategies
Experience designing pragmatic, real-world solutions in live operational environments
Exposure to Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is highly desirable
Soft Skills & Personal Attributes
Strong understanding of security, governance, and operational best practices
Demonstrable ability to lead design and architectural governance activities
Confident communicator, capable of engaging technical and non-technical stakeholders
Experience working with suppliers and senior leadership within complex enterprise organisations
Customer-centric mindset with a practical, outcome-focused approach
