Job description

A fast-growing Microsoft-focused professional services firm is hiring a Security Architect to join a lean, high-calibre delivery team. This is a newly created role, driven by a strong influx of business and a great opportunity to join a company with a prestigious client list, scaling aggressively through 2026.

What The Role Looks Like

You'll work across the full delivery lifecycle, gathering requirements directly from enterprise customers, translating business needs into technical architecture, and owning delivery end-to-end.

This isn't a purely advisory position; hands-on execution matters here. Pre-sales exposure is a plus but not essential.

What You'll Be Working With

• Microsoft Entra ID, Defender, and Purview
• Enterprise-scale environments; you must be comfortable designing for organisations of 10,000 users
• Customer-facing engagements requiring both technical depth and clear communication

What They're Looking For

• Extensive engineering and architecture experience in Microsoft Entra ID, Defender & Purview
• Background in professional services, consulting, or an MSP with a Microsoft focus
• Prior experience architecting solutions for enterprise clients
• Someone who leads not just technically, but in rooms with clients and stakeholders
• Certifications such as SC-100, SC-300 & SC-400 are preferred but not essential.

Why this one stands out

• $165,000–$200,000 base plus 15% bonus
• Prestigious client list, and you''ll get to work with a team of SMEs.
• 15-person firm with a clear hiring roadmap; will be 20-25 by year-end
• Direct access to leadership; no layers, no bureaucracy.
