Location: Hybrid – Office Locations Leeds and Reading

Salary: Competitive

Job Type: Full Time / Permanent

The Role: As a Senior Modern Workplace Solution Architect at TIEVA, you will design and validate Microsoft 365-centred solutions across the modern workplace portfolio. You will support sales engagement with deep technical expertise, lead workshops & discovery with customers (often at C-suite or senior management level), introduce new Microsoft capabilities, and produce high-quality Statements of Work (SOWs) and proposals.

Your focus is not only on core Microsoft 365 services but also on the wider customer ecosystem we see every day — endpoint management, EDR/MDR, DLP, security posture, backup & archive, and integration with third-party platforms such as Qualys, Bitdefender, Mimecast and asset management systems like Agilitas.

• Guide customers on security, compliance, and governance using Purview, Defender and Intune.
• Address practical customer challenges: DLP complexity, licensing optimisation, MX routing, and device lifecycle management.
• Support integration with wider customer ecosystems (Bitdefender, Qualys, Mimecast, Agilitas).

Cross-Functional Delivery

• Produce high-quality SOWs, proposals, RFP responses, and solution documentation.
• Deliver workshops, demos, and PoCs to articulate designs and business value to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Collaborate with Sales, Delivery, and PMO teams to ensure seamless project handover and alignment with delivery capability.
• Maintain reusable templates, reference architectures, and best-practice artefacts to scale Modern Workplace engagements.
