- Review and validate architectural designs and infrastructure changes proposed by external vendors to ensure alignment with organisational security and compliance standards.
- Lead cloud optimisation initiatives, tracking consumption metrics and driving cost-efficiencies across Azure tenants.
- Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to ensure external partners maintain the integrity of tenant security boundaries and conditional access policies.
