Azure Solution Architect

We’re hiring an Azure Solutions Architect to lead the technical side of our Microsoft practice in the US. It’s a client-facing role, split about 50% pre-sales and 50% delivery leadership. In pre-sales you shape solutions on live pursuits, write the technical content of proposals and pitch. In delivery you own the architecture and quality bar, making sure what we sell is what we deliver. Microsoft alliance work runs through both. You’ll work closely with our Microsoft Practice Leader, and your pay is tied to growing the practice.

Focus Areas

Our Microsoft go-to-market rests on three pillars. Azure depth is a requirement for this role.

1. Azure, Fabric and the AI and data layer (priority): Azure, Fabric, Microsoft Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search and related data services.

2. Power Platform: Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, mostly citizen development and enablement.

3. Copilot and Copilot Studio: agent building and Microsoft 365 Copilot enablement.

Key Responsibilities

• Pre-sales: lead solution design, write proposals, SOWs and RFP responses, estimate scope and risk, run discovery workshops, and turn repeatable patterns into priced offerings.

• Delivery: own architecture from design to production, set quality, governance and security standards, resolve escalations and mentor the team.

• Microsoft alliance: build relationships with Microsoft field teams, support co-sell and funded engagements, and represent TQA at Microsoft events.

Microsoft Windows Azure, ServiceNow, Microsoft Product Family, Automation, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Sales, Pre-Sales, Leadership, Microsoft Windows Azure, * 10+ years in Microsoft-stack consulting or architecture, including 3+ in pre-sales or solutioning at a Microsoft partner, SI or consultancy.

• Proven Azure depth at enterprise scale (landing zones, identity, networking, security, cost management).

• Hands-on Fabric (or a comparable data platform) and AI solution design on Foundry or Azure OpenAI, including when an agent belongs in Copilot Studio versus Foundry.

• A track record of winning work: proposals written, deals closed, pitches led, and estimates you stand behind.

• Experience working with the Microsoft field, including partner funding and co-sell.

• Credibility with both a CIO and a developer, and excellent written and spoken English.

• Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification (or successor), active or renewed within 90 days.

• US work authorization at application; no visa sponsorship.

Nice to Have

Power Platform or Copilot Studio depth, further Microsoft certifications (TQA funds them), Healthcare or Financial Services experience, Dynamics 365 or agent engineering experience, UiPath or ServiceNow exposure, and experience building a practice or offering from scratch.

Base salary plus a performance-linked variable, based on bookings you influence and help close rather than delivery utilisation.
