Your future duties and responsibilities

As a Microsoft 365 Solution Architect, you will lead transformative digital projects across a variety of sectors. You will be responsible for shaping solutions and strategies, creating high-level and low-level designs, and providing hands-on technical leadership.

You will be instrumental in building client relationships, managing stakeholders, and delivering valuable insights that help shape long-term technology strategies.

Collaboration is at the heart of our approach, and you will also play a role in mentoring and supporting colleagues, contributing to a culture of knowledge-sharing and continuous improvement.

We are looking for someone who can confidently engage with senior stakeholders, understands the value of Microsoft 365, and brings innovative ideas from previous engagements to new scenarios. If you thrive in a dynamic environment and enjoy working independently while being part of a collaborative team, this is the role for you.

Strong communication and stakeholder management skills are crucial, as is the ability to work autonomously and make sound decisions in complex scenarios. Experience with AI-driven features like Co-Pilot will be particularly advantageous as we explore innovative ways to enhance our solutions.

Familiarity with architecture and delivery methodologies, including Agile Scrum, SAFe, Kanban, and frameworks like TOGAF or RCDA, is expected. Experience in environments involving Microsoft 365 migrations and hybrid deployments will also stand you in good stead.
