Forsyth Barnes is partnering with a leading enterprise organisation undergoing a significant cloud transformation programme and is seeking an experienced Microsoft Cloud Solutions Architect to join their growing technology function.
This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping and evolving a large-scale Microsoft cloud estate, supporting cloud migration initiatives, driving automation, and establishing best-practice governance across Azure and Microsoft 365 technologies.
The Opportunity
As a Microsoft Cloud Solutions Architect, you will operate across architecture, engineering and delivery, helping to design, implement and optimise cloud solutions across the Microsoft ecosystem.
This is not a purely strategic architecture role. We're looking for someone who enjoys being hands-on, working closely with technical teams, influencing cloud strategy and supporting delivery across multiple workstreams.
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.
