Driving the modernisation of a critical cloud infrastructure, the Azure Cloud Development Architect will lead the architectural vision and technical strategy for an ongoing transformation project within the medical device sector. This senior manager level role exists to ensure the seamless delivery of advanced Azure cloud solutions while providing strategic oversight and direction to a development team based overseas. By harnessing cloud technologies to optimise data workflows and platform capabilities, this position will play a pivotal role in supporting innovation and operational excellence for a sophisticated SaaS environment.

The core purpose of this role centres on guiding a geographically distributed team primarily responsible for data development activities, with the lead architect providing not only technical governance but also mentoring and quality assurance. The Azure Cloud Development Architect will design scalable, secure, and compliant solutions aligned with both business goals and regulatory considerations, critical to a high-stakes healthcare industry project. Working closely with cross-functional stakeholders, the successful candidate will translate complex requirements into architectural frameworks that both meet immediate project needs and provide a foundation for future enhancements.

On a day-to-day basis, this role involves collaborating with data engineers and developers located in India, offering clear technical direction and reviewing development outputs to ensure architecture standards are upheld. The architect will engage in solution design workshops, evaluate emerging Azure services for applicability, and drive improvements in cloud adoption practices. The position involves balancing hands-on architectural involvement with strategic management, ensuring delivery milestones are met without compromising on innovation or robustness.

Technology-wise, the role is heavily centred on Microsoft Azure, encompassing cloud-native services, data integration, and platform modernisation. The architect will be expected to have a deep understanding of Azure’s capabilities including compute, storage, networking, and security components, with a particular focus on supporting a SaaS product tailored to the medical device market. This will include addressing both scalability challenges and stringent compliance requirements typical within healthcare-related environments. Although the majority of the development work is conducted remotely, the role requires one day per week onsite to foster teamwork and maintain alignment with broader operational goals.

This contract role offers a hybrid working arrangement, balancing remote collaboration with necessary onsite presence. The hybrid format supports effective communication across time zones and promotes agile decision-making while providing opportunities for in-person engagement essential to leadership and quality oversight. Given the seniority of the Azure Cloud Development Architect role, individuals will be operating at the interface of technology leadership and practical delivery, ensuring that transformational objectives align with technical feasibility.

Candidates suited to this position will typically have significant proven experience in cloud architecture within highly regulated industries, with healthcare sector experience being particularly advantageous. While specific certifications are not detailed, expertise in designing and implementing Azure-based solutions within a SaaS or medical technology context will be highly relevant. Experience managing teams distributed across multiple geographies and cultures will also be important, alongside the ability to translate complex cloud strategies into actionable plans across different technical and business domains.

The Azure Cloud Development Architect will be instrumental in helping realise measurable business improvement through technology enablement and operational excellence. A strategic approach to cloud architecture combined with practical leadership skills will ensure that the global modernisation project achieves its objectives, delivering enhanced functionality and scalability that supports ongoing growth and innovation.

This role is within the management consulting sector, supporting business and technology transformation initiatives in the services industry. It represents a chance to contribute specialist expertise in cloud architecture to a mission-critical project at the intersection of healthcare and technology, ensuring sustainable development and operational success in a complex, regulated environment.
