## About the Role

* Proven hands-on delivery experience across Microsoft 365, Azure infrastructure, Intune, and Entra ID (Azure AD), ideally including Conditional Access policy configuration.
 * Experience with Microsoft Purview and SharePoint migration/administration.
 * Comfortable working independently from an agreed design and playbook, with good judgement about when to flag issues rather than push through them.
 * Strong communication skills - you'll be working directly with client stakeholders as well as our internal team.
 * A professional, discreet approach to confidential client and deal information. We're looking for demonstrable experience handling confidential, regulated or commercially sensitive information - for example through prior work in M&A, private equity, financial services, government, or another environment with comparable confidentiality demands.
 * Experience dealing with platform migrations, tenant-to-tenant transition, cloud migrations and similar complex consolidation scenarios is a major plus.

We're looking for a Cloud & Modern Workplace Consultant to deliver a defined programme of Microsoft 365 and Azure infrastructure work for a portfolio company client, working from designs and playbooks produced by our Solutions Architect.

This is a delivery focused role, you'll execute an agreed technical plan rather than set the architecture, though we want consultants who use good judgement to flag gaps or edge cases rather than working around them.

 * Delivering Azure infrastructure work as specified in designs
 * Building Intune device management and compliance policies
 * Configuring Microsoft Entra ID, including Conditional Access policies
 * Implementing Microsoft Purview information protection and governance controls
 * Migrating and configuring SharePoint content and sites
 * Testing and validating deployed solutions meet customer requirements and reflect the documented design
 * Working autonomously against milestones, with support from our solutions architect for design questions, * Three months from October 2026 (some flexibility on exact start date), with the potential to extend.
 * Must operate through your own limited company; sole trader arrangements are not accepted for this engagement.
 * No exclusivity. You're free to take on other client work alongside this engagement, provided it doesn't create a conflict of interest with TechAlign's clients or impact committed work, availability, or agreed delivery deadlines for this engagement.
 * Professional indemnity and public liability insurance required.
