Job description

We're supporting a leading professional services organisation with the appointment of a Technical Delivery Lead to help shape and deliver its cloud, integration and application technology roadmap.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who combines strong hands-on Microsoft Azure expertise with technical leadership, and wants to remain close to the technology while taking greater ownership of technical direction and delivery.

The Role

As Technical Delivery Lead, you’ll take a leading role across the design, delivery and continuous improvement of cloud and integration solutions.

You’ll work across a modern Microsoft technology environment, helping to establish strong engineering standards, improve automation and ensure solutions are secure, scalable and aligned with the wider technology strategy.

The role will also have a strong focus on emerging technologies, particularly identifying practical opportunities to use AI, Copilot and automation to deliver genuine business value.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the technical delivery of cloud, integration and application projects
• Design and deliver solutions across the Microsoft Azure ecosystem
• Drive Infrastructure as Code and automation using Terraform
• Improve Azure DevOps, CI/CD and engineering standards
• Develop integration solutions using Azure Logic Apps, Functions and Service Bus
• Support the adoption and development of Microsoft Fabric
• Ensure strong standards across identity, security and cloud governance
• Explore opportunities across Copilot Studio, Azure AI Services and AI Builder
• Provide technical direction and leadership across complex projects
• Work closely with technical teams, stakeholders and third-party partners
• Help shape the organisation's longer-term cloud and technology roadmap

Key Experience

We're looking for someone with strong experience across:

• Terraform & Infrastructure as Code
• Azure Logic Apps, Functions & Service Bus
• Microsoft Fabric
• Identity, security & cloud governance
• Technical leadership across complex technology projects

About You

You'll be someone who enjoys being hands-on technically, but is also comfortable taking ownership of technical direction and delivery.

You don't necessarily want to move away from the technology into a purely management-focused position. Instead, you're looking for an opportunity where you can influence architecture and engineering standards, lead technical delivery and still stay close to Azure and emerging Microsoft technologies.
