Overview

A leading international consumer goods group — private equity-backed, multi-brand, and acquisitive — is undertaking a major transformation of its digital workplace landscape. With operations spanning the UK, Ireland, Europe, and North America, the business is consolidating and standardising its IT environment to enable growth, integration, and operational efficiency.

The Role

As Lead Modern Workplace Architect, you’ll be responsible for the strategy, architecture, and execution of the modern workplace platform — driving standardisation, security, and enablement across identity, collaboration, and endpoint management.

You will bring strong experience leading teams and delivering multiple migrations across Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and client endpoints, with deep hands-on expertise in Intune and Autopilot. You’ll act as both architect and delivery leader — capable of strategic planning, technical design, and operational rollout.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and implement a modern workplace environment across all divisions using Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, and Autopilot.
• Lead multiple complex migrations — M365 tenant-to-tenant, Entra ID consolidation, and Windows endpoint standardisation.
• Define and maintain global standards for endpoint builds, software packaging, and deployment automation.
• Deliver a global Autopilot-based client provisioning process to streamline onboarding and rebuilds.
• Consolidate miscellaneous workplace tools into a streamlined, fit-for-purpose portfolio.
• Build and lead a modern workplace team capable of global delivery and support.
• Work closely with other technology leaders to align roadmap, architecture, and service standards.
• Mentor and upskill regional IT teams to maintain workplace consistency and maturity.
• Drive adoption and effective use of collaboration tools across the business.
• Partner with security teams to ensure all endpoint and identity configurations meet policy and compliance standards.
• Take ownership of securing client devices, user identities, and collaboration environments.
• Support incident response and vulnerability management in the digital workplace domain.

User Enablement

• Define a workplace enablement strategy, supported by self-service resources, training, and communications.
• Improve the digital employee experience through simplified tools, intuitive access, and proactive support design.

12-Month Success Measures

• Fully staffed workplace team operating efficiently
• Harmonised UK & Ireland M365 tenant, Entra ID, and endpoint platforms
• Stable global client build deployed to UK & IE users
• SharePoint Online replacing legacy file shares
• End-user training and comms strategy launched and embedded
• Migration roadmap agreed for Europe and North America (Year 2+)

What You Bring

• Proven leadership of multiple global workplace transformations and migrations
• Deep hands-on experience with Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, and Autopilot
• A pragmatic approach to change delivery in fast-paced, PE-owned, or M&A-heavy environments
• Ability to work from strategic design through to hands-on implementation and troubleshooting
• Excellent stakeholder management skills at both senior and operational levels

Requirements

• 5+ years in a senior IT workplace, EUC, or modern desktop architecture role
• Strong track record of Intune + Autopilot deployment and management
• Extensive experience with:
• Entra ID design and rollout
• Endpoint management and client image design
