Are you a senior Modern Workplace Engineer or Consultant ready to take the next step into a technical leadership role?

This is an opportunity to join a growing consultancy as its most senior technical delivery specialist, combining hands‑on Microsoft 365 engineering with client facing consultancy, project leadership and pre‑sales.
