Job Description

Responsibilities

Contribute to IT service and cloud strategy by analysing business requirements and defining modern, scalable Azure cloud architecture solutions.
Define and maintain target-state infrastructure architecture, principles, standards and reference patterns for on-premises and cloud environments.
Design cloud foundation capabilities (e.g., landing zone, network connectivity, identity, key management, logging/monitoring) and ensure alignment with group standards.
Lead architecture reviews and provide governance for infrastructure changes, ensuring security-by-design and operational readiness (runbooks, monitoring, SRE/ops handover).
Architect compute and platform solutions (Windows/Linux, virtualization/containers), storage/backup, and endpoint management in line with security policies.
Prepare and present architecture documents, project reports and stakeholder communications for regional management and Head Office counterparts.
Monitor industry trends, emerging threats, and changes in regulatory landscapes to strengthen the organization's cloud risk posture.
Lead cloud migration efforts for applications and infrastructure, ensuring seamless transition, minimal business disruption, and optimal cost-benefit outcomes.
Provide timely escalation and resolution support for major infrastructure issues/incidents, including root cause analysis and preventive actions.
Work with Information Security, Risk/Compliance and Audit to address findings, implement controls and maintain evidence for infrastructure-related controls.
Collaborate with engineering and operations teams to ensure best practices, automation, and cloud-native patterns are consistently applied.
Partner with global architects, cybersecurity, application teams, vendors, and offshore delivery partners to ensure strategic alignment and integrated solution delivery.
Translate business, regulatory and non-functional requirements (security, availability, performance, observability) into solution designs and architecture decision records.
Manage vendor engagement and technical evaluation (RFP/RFQ, solution comparison, PoC), ensuring contracts/SOWs meet architecture and operational requirements.
