M365 Technical Lead

Peterborough (Hybrid – 1-2DPW in the office)

Up to £100,000 per annum – 3 Year Fixed‑Term Contract

VIQU has partnered with an educational institution looking for a hands‑on Microsoft 365 Technical Lead to deliver a major tenant‑to‑tenant cloud consolidation project. You’ll play a key role in implementing a defined strategy, working closely with internal teams, schools, and external partners to ensure a smooth migration. While there is support from a small engineering team, this role requires someone who can get stuck in technically and also build strong relationships across the organisation.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and provide guidance to a small team of engineers.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders, external consultants, and suppliers.
• Ensure security and compliance within the Microsoft 365 environment.
• Offer expert advice on Microsoft Azure, Windows systems, networking, and collaboration tools.
• Implement agreed strategies efficiently, suggesting improvements when appropriate.
• Lead technical issue resolution to minimise disruption.
• Communicate effectively with both technical and non‑technical audiences, including senior leadership.

Key Requirements

• Proven experience in large‑scale Microsoft 365 tenancy consolidations or tenant‑to‑tenant migrations.
• Strong technical skills with Microsoft 365, Entra, and Microsoft Azure.
• Hands‑on experience with Windows client/server systems and virtualised networks.
• Knowledge of networking infrastructure, VPNs, firewalls, and hardware support.
• Comfortable with a hands‑on technical role and team leadership.
• Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills.
• Experience in education environments is advantageous.
• Ability to deliver within an existing strategic framework while contributing ideas for improvement.
