What does the Consulting Architecture Team do? You'll serve as a trusted advisor to customers navigating complex cloud strategies, working directly with executive and C-level stakeholders to align Azure adoption with business outcomes. From initial advisory engagements through delivery, you'll bridge the gap between technology capabilities and organizational goals-translating cloud possibilities into actionable roadmaps, investment cases, and transformation strategies.
As a Consulting Architect (Azure), you will:- Facilitate and lead collaboration with senior and C-level stakeholder groups, using tailored approaches to drive both strategic and detail-oriented conversations across enterprise architecture
- Lead consulting and advisory engagements that assess the impact of business strategy on the architecture landscape-including organization, infrastructure, applications, and data-and align Azure cloud strategy with business outcomes
- Lead executive discovery workshops to understand business drivers and desired outcomes, then translate findings into phased transformation roadmaps that outline the organizational, technical, and process impacts at each stage
- Develop investment cases, Total Cost of Ownership models, and business-outcome-aligned recommendations for Azure initiatives
- Define consulting and advisory engagements in a pre-sales capacity, including scoping, technical approach, work breakdown structures, and staffing models
- Deliver the engagements you help define, ensuring continuity from proposal through execution and measurable outcomes
- Lead the design of enterprise architecture strategies, operating models, and roadmaps, and produce executive-quality deliverables-strategy decks, architecture recommendations, and statements of work
- Collaborate with Cross-Functional Delivery and Sales teams to shape go-to-market strategies and refine the consulting practice
What Technical Attributes We're Looking for In You You're passionate about connecting cloud technology to business outcomes. You're equally comfortable in a boardroom presenting transformation strategy as you are whiteboarding architecture with an engineering team. While hands-on technical depth is valued, this role emphasizes the ability to frame technology decisions in terms of business impact.
- Required Certification: Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305)
- 8+ years of diverse solutions architecture experience with a minimum of 3 years of relevant public cloud experience
- Experience developing and presenting cloud strategy, business cases, and transformation roadmaps to executive and C-level audiences
- Sufficient technical depth across Azure infrastructure, networking, identity, security, and application modernization to credibly translate between executive stakeholders and engineering teams
- Familiarity with enterprise architecture disciplines including business architecture, IT governance, data and information architecture, and integration architecture
Minimum Qualifications - A BA/BS degree with 8 years of relevant experience, or a MS degree with 6 years of relevant experience, or a Ph.D. with 3 years of experience, or 12 years of overall relevant experience without a college degree
- Strong presentation, written, and verbal communication skills
- Strong analytical and problem-solving ability
- High level of comfort communicating effectively across internal and customer-facing organizations
Preferred Qualifications - Consulting background with experience in advisory-led engagements, staffing models, and work breakdown structures
- Experience defining or operating within enterprise architecture governance frameworks and operating models
- Industry knowledge in any of the following verticals: Healthcare/HealthTech, Financial Services/FinTech, SaaS, E-Commerce

- Familiarity with compliance frameworks (PCI, HIPAA, HITRUST) and DevOps practices as they relate to enterprise cloud strategy
