## About the Role

* A seasoned technical consultant, used to high stakes enterprise accounts and the scrutiny that comes with them
 * Broad Microsoft 365 consulting background, strong across general configuration rather than deep in one workload
 * Hands on with Defender and the Microsoft 365 security stack, including tenant hardening
 * Entra and identity delivery, including supporting wider application or infrastructure programmes
 * Experience of application and tenant migrations
 * Partner, consultancy or managed service provider background, delivering into large or complex environments
 * Confident with difficult stakeholder conversations and working without close supervision
 * Available at short notice for an initial six month engagement

Desirable

 * Power Platform exposure, particularly moving apps between tenants. A CRM background is a bonus but not expected
 * Fundamental networking understanding, enough to sit alongside a SASE rollout integrated with Azure

## Description

* Deliver across several parallel workstreams on an ongoing Microsoft programme for a large enterprise customer
 * Configure Microsoft 365 across the core workloads and deliver tenant hardening
 * Implement and tune Defender and the wider Microsoft 365 security stack
 * Deliver the identity side of a wider business system change, covering Entra, access and authentication
 * Run application and tenant migrations across the Microsoft estate, including moving Power Platform apps where they are in scope
 * Hold the technical relationship with a demanding customer, managing expectations and pushing back where a request needs challenging
