Microsoft 365 Technical Architect (Modern Work and Purview)
💰 Up to £80,000 depending on experience
📍 Remote first, with monthly travel to the Bedfordshire office. More often if you live nearby and want it.
Company & role
An established UK managed services provider and Microsoft partner, with a professional services team built around specialists rather than generalists. They are strong across end user compute, endpoint, cloud and Power Platform, and thin on Microsoft 365 and data governance. That is the gap you would own.
Architect is the title, but this is not a design only job. You scope it, design it, build it and optimise it, from the first customer workshop through to implementation and handover. It is a customer facing role throughout, and Purview runs through a growing share of the work as customers get their data in order before Copilot.
Why This Role Stands Out
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Nobody covers this at architect level today, so you are not inheriting someone else's design decisions
- You stay hands on. Plenty of architect roles at this level quietly turn into documentation and governance calls, this one does not
- Purview demand here is growing faster than the talent pool, which is a good place to be building a specialism
- Three other technical architects to lean on, funded certifications, and 33 days holiday including bank holidays
Key Responsibilities
- Design and build Microsoft 365 solutions across Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange Online and Copilot
- Lead Purview projects covering data governance, classification, protection and compliance
- Run tenant migrations and consolidations end to end, including on premise to cloud
- Take services from discovery workshop through design, migration, transition and ongoing optimisation
- Advise customers on Copilot readiness and deliver Microsoft funded governance and security workshops
- Support solution design and proposals until a dedicated pre sales function is in place

Ideal Experience
- Architect level knowledge of the Microsoft 365 productivity stack with the practical skills to match, including tenant provisioning and security
- Hands on Purview. This is the piece that will be tested hardest
- Tenant to tenant, consolidation and on premise to cloud migrations you have delivered yourself, not overseen
- Entra, plus a working knowledge of the wider Microsoft security stack
- PowerShell you have written, rather than borrowed
- Credible with customers and able to drop the jargon when the room needs it
- Copilot readiness or content governance for AI is a bonus, as are MS 102, MS 700, SC 300 or SC 401, which they will fund
