Important eligibility information

Have you designed and implemented Microsoft security solutions rather than simply supported them? Do you enjoy working with Microsoft Sentinel, onboarding security technologies, and helping organisations improve their security posture? Would you like to work for a growing Microsoft consultancy where you can combine architecture, client engagement, and hands-on technical delivery?
We are recruiting for a Security Architect to join a growing Microsoft-focused consultancy delivering security projects across a wide range of client environments. This is not a purely governance or documentation-focused architecture role. The successful candidate will be involved in designing solutions, advising clients, shaping security strategies, and remaining hands-on with implementation where required.
The environment is highly collaborative, technically strong, and focused on delivering practical security outcomes rather than simply producing reports and recommendations. You will work across Microsoft security technologies including Microsoft Sentinel, Defender, Identity Security, Conditional Access, and Purview, helping clients design and implement modern security solutions.
