Your New Role In this role, you will be responsible for the design, implementation and ongoing support of Microsoft Azure infrastructure and related cloud services. You will contribute to the development of cloud and hybrid architecture, ensuring systems remain secure, available and scalable. Day-to-day responsibilities will include administration and optimisation of Microsoft 365 services such as Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams and Entra ID, alongside ownership of modern endpoint management through Microsoft Intune, including Autopilot, compliance policies and device configuration. You will support hybrid identity across Active Directory and Entra ID, applying Conditional Access and Zero Trust principles, and play an active role in cloud migration and service modernisation initiatives. Security will be a core focus of the role, including patching, vulnerability remediation, Microsoft Defender tooling and the investigation and resolution of cloud and identity related security incidents. You will also contribute to back up, disaster recovery and business continuity planning, monitor platform performance and resilience, manage certificates and domains, and work closely with third party suppliers where required. The role includes producing clear technical documentation, contributing to infrastructure standards and policies, and providing senior level support for complex infrastructure issues. What You'll Need to Succeed To be successful, you will have strong hands-on experience designing and supporting Microsoft Azure infrastructure, including IaaS, networking, security and monitoring. You will have excellent knowledge of identity and access management using Active Directory and Entra ID, with experience administering Microsoft 365 and managing modern endpoints through Intune. A solid understanding of security best practice is essential, particularly around Conditional Access, Zero Trust and Microsoft Defender. You will have experience operating in hybrid environments and a good working knowledge of backup, recovery and disaster recovery processes, alongside core networking concepts such as DNS, DHCP, firewalls and secure connectivity. PowerShell or automation skills will be advantageous, as will experience supporting high availability and performance optimisation in cloud platforms. Strong communication skills and experience operating at second or third line support level within an enterprise environment are also important. Microsoft certifications such as AZ 104 or AZ 500 would be beneficial, as would exposure to cloud migration programmes, infrastructure modernisation and working with security or compliance frameworks such as Cyber Essentials.
