This role is ideal for someone with deep technical expertise, a passion for innovation, and a proven track record of influencing cloud-native transformation at scale. An Azure MVP or equivalent community - recognised leader is highly desirable.
You will play a pivotal role in shaping and growing our Azure architecture and engineering capabilities, driving pre-sales and go-to-market initiatives, and leading complex solution design for enterprise clients. You’ll work closely with Microsoft, internal delivery teams, and client stakeholders to deliver transformative outcomes.
Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.
If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including Identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service)
Your Role
- Lead architecture strategy and solutioning for Azure-centric bids and proposals.
- Represent Capgemini in client-facing engagements, articulating the value of Azure-native solutions.
- Collaborate with Microsoft and other hyperscaler partners to align joint go-to-market strategies and funding programs.
- Act as a visible leader in the Azure community - internally and externally - through blogs, events, and technical enablement.
- Drive the adoption of modern cloud-native patterns (e.g. microservices, containers, serverless, AI integration) across the practice.
- Contribute to the evolution of Capgemini’s Cloud Native Hyperscaler Azure reference architectures and accelerators.
- Lead the design of secure, scalable, and resilient Azure solutions for enterprise clients.
- Provide architectural oversight and governance across delivery engagements.
- Mentor and coach architects and engineers, fostering a high-performance culture.
- Shape and grow the Azure architecture community within C&CA.
- Support certification and learning initiatives aligned to Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework and Well-Architected Framework.
Your Skills And Experience
- Experience in pre-sales, bid support, and client stakeholder engagement.
- Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to influence at all levels.
- Proven experience as a lead architect on large-scale Azure transformation programs.
- Deep knowledge of Azure services including App Services, AKS, Azure Functions, API Management, Logic Apps, and Azure DevOps.
- Strong understanding of cloud-native design principles, DevSecOps, and platform engineering.
- Microsoft Azure certifications (e.g. AZ-305, AZ-400)
- Experience working in or with hyperscaler partner programmes.
- Exposure to multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP) is a plus.
- Passion for mentoring and community building.
- Proven track record in developing and executing strategic sales plans.
- Capable of working in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.
- Ability to build and maintain strong client relationships.
- Effective negotiation and presentation skills.
- Azure MVP status is highly desirable.
