Overview of the role

Phoenix is a leading UK IT solutions and managed service provider, with a deep specialism in the public sector. We work with organisations across government, healthcare, defence, public safety, education, housing, and the charity sector - helping them modernise with confidence across cloud, data and AI, cyber security, and managed services.

Through strategic partnerships with the world's leading technology providers - and a trusted place on the major public sector frameworks - our work has a direct impact on the services that millions of people rely on every day.

Due to continued growth, we are hiring a new Senior Microsoft Licensing Specialist to support our Public Sector customers with expert licensing advice, commercial guidance, and compliance support across Microsoft's licensing programmes.

What will you be doing?

  • Act as a trusted Microsoft licensing advisor for Public Sector customers
  • Provide expert guidance on Microsoft licensing models, product entitlements, and programme requirements
  • Support customers in making informed licensing decisions that align with organisational objectives, digital transformation strategies, and budget constraints
  • Deliver customer-facing licensing consultations, workshops, and renewal discussions
  • Interpret and simplify complex licensing requirements for both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Deliver an exceptional customer experience through responsive, accurate, and proactive licensing support
  • Maintain a detailed understanding of Microsoft's evolving licensing programmes, products, and policies
  • Contribute to process improvements that enhance operational efficiency, accuracy, and customer outcomes

Why should you apply?

At Phoenix, our ambition is to be the UK's leading IT solutions and managed service provider - and we know that only happens because of our people. Culture isn't an afterthought here; it's the thing we work hardest on.

We're proud to be certified as a Great Place to Work®, and to be recognised on their UK Best Workplaces lists for Women, Wellbeing, and Development. These aren't badges we chase - they're the result of how we genuinely choose to treat each other, and how seriously we take our colleagues' careers, health, and lives outside of work.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

Important BPSS Check

As part of our recruitment process due to the nature of the work we do, all employees are required to undertake a Baseline Personal Security Standard (BPSS) check. While some employees require further security clearance, the BPSS check is a must-have requirement and all offers of employment are conditional pending the passing of this check

Have you made it this far?

If you’re still reading, we think there’s a strong chance you might be our kind of person.

We believe a diversity of perspectives and experiences makes a team stronger — and the stronger our team, the more successful we will be.
