About the role

This is a technically advanced, hands-on senior consulting role that will best suit an experienced technical professional, with experience of designing and delivering enterprise-grade Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) solutions. The role requires consultative approach and the ability to translate customer objectives into secure, scalable and operationally supportable cloud solutions.

You will work across the full project lifecycle, from discovery, assessment and design through to implementation, testing, transition and operational handover. The role is primarily focused on AVD workloads but will also require strong working knowledge across Entra ID, Azure infrastructure and networking, FSLogix, automation and DevOps infrastructure-as-code practices.

You will act as the subject matter expert with enterprise customers, supporting workshops, presales activity, stakeholder engagement and delivery governance.

• Work collaboratively with Project Managers, Enterprise Architects, Technical Leads and operational teams to ensure a smooth end-to-end customer experience.

Governance, Documentation and Handover

• Produce clear and professional technical documentation, including high-level designs, low-level designs, migration plans, test plans, implementation plans and handover materials.
• Ensure delivered solutions meet security, compliance, resilience and operational acceptance requirements.
