Senior Azure Solutions Architect

We currently have a career opportunity for a Senior Azure Solutions Architect to join our team, located in the United States. You will serve as the lead technical architect on a strategic Financial Services and Insurance client engagement, with the opportunity to shape both delivery and presales for the account.

Job Overview: This role begins as a hands-on Azure Foundations and governance engagement and is expected to evolve into a longer-term staff augmentation relationship spanning IAM remediation, audit readiness, Azure governance, and an active backlog of Azure infrastructure and platform initiatives delivered in an agile, iterative model.

This is a highly visible, client-facing role. The ideal candidate combines deep, current Azure architecture expertise with the presence and communication skills to advise client stakeholders directly — including IT leadership and audit/compliance teams — and is equally comfortable supporting pre-sales efforts (scoping, SOW input, solution positioning) for follow-on and adjacent opportunities.

Azure Discovery & Governance

• Lead current-state discovery across management groups, IAM, Azure Policy, and resource configuration, identifying gaps against standardization and best-practice baselines.

• Assess and remediate Azure hierarchy and RBAC structures, including Management Group design and Platform/Application Landing Zone alignment.

• Design and implement new IAM structures and shared-resource patterns to support Azure Landing Zone (ALZ) alignment.

Identity & Access Management

• Own IAM cleanup and remediation end-to-end: inventory current permissions, identify service principals and user access, and reapply least-privilege access at the subscription and resource-group level.

• Drive Conditional Access inventory, consolidation, and simplification, and lead Privileged Identity Management (PIM) design and governance alignment.

• Align RBAC and management group access models to Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) principles, and define a repeatable testing approach for validating access changes.

• Partner with the client's audit stakeholders to translate audit findings into a clear, actionable definition of done, and drive remediation to closure on an agile timeline.
