## Description

An established technology and cyber security organisation is looking for an experienced Azure Security Architect to help develop and launch a new Azure Security practice.

This is an interesting opportunity for someone who combines strong hands-on Azure security architecture experience with consulting and commercial awareness. Rather than simply delivering against an existing project, you'll have the opportunity to shape the services, solutions and technical capabilities that will be taken to market.

Working alongside technical leadership, product and sales teams, you'll help turn existing Microsoft security capabilities into clearly defined customer offerings, while supporting early customer engagements and developing the internal team's expertise.

What You'll Be Doing

Help design and develop a portfolio of Azure Security services and consulting propositions.

Define repeatable security assessments, architecture approaches and implementation methodologies.

Provide technical leadership across Azure security architecture, governance, and infrastructure.

Work with technologies including Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Entra ID, Azure Policy and Microsoft Sentinel.

Support Azure security assessments, landing zone reviews and secure cloud architecture engagements.

Work alongside sales and pre-sales teams to identify opportunities, support customer discussions and shape technical solutions.

Develop technical documentation, reference architectures and service delivery frameworks.

Coach and transfer knowledge to internal consultants, helping establish the foundations of a growing Azure Security practice.
