Cross-Team Collaboration: Act as the technical and delivery bridge for your team, actively negotiating endpoint contracts and integration boundaries with Tech Leads from other business domains. Cloud Operations & Governance: Oversee and optimise delivery within a modern, enterprise Microsoft cloud estate, ensuring robust security, identity management, and container orchestration. What My Client Is Looking For Essential Experience Explicit Leadership: Proven experience in a dedicated Team Lead or Engineering Manager role, with direct line management responsibilities and a track record of driving delivery teams end-to-end. Greenfield Shipping: A proven history of successfully shipping a brand-new (greenfield) cloud product all the way into a live production environment. Microsoft Cloud Estate: Robust experience leading teams and running workloads within a Microsoft ecosystem, specifically utilising Azure, Entra, AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service), and Azure DevOps . Contract Negotiation: Strong technical communication skills with specific experience negotiating endpoint and API contracts with external or adjacent technical teams. Highly Desirable Regulated Domains: Experience working within highly regulated sectors such as Medical, Pharma, or Finance is strongly preferred. Why Apply? This is a rare opportunity to leave your thumbprint on a major greenfield cloud build that will directly impact the healthcare sector, offering a competitive salary of up to £80,000 depending on experience. You will get the autonomy to run your team your way, backed by the stability and resources of an established industry leader.
