We are partnering with a prominent and large-scale public sector organisation to source an exceptional Solution Architect with deep expertise in Microsoft 365 (M365).

This is a high-impact, strategic role focused on modernising and securing the client's M365 landscape across both their vast corporate functions and numerous educational institutions.

  • Seamless Integration: Develop and champion strategies for the coherent and seamless integration of M365 across all corporate and school settings.
  • Security Posture: Significantly enhance the security framework by expertly optimising Microsoft Defender and implementing M365 security best practices.
  • Change Leadership: Design methods to boost communication and change management effectiveness around M365 updates, using tools like Message Centre to drive adoption.
  • School-Level Alignment: Design and implement tailored M365 solutions that address the unique, mission-critical needs of schools, including coordination during overseas trips, camps, and emergencies.
  • Executive Reporting: Establish a professional framework for continuous executive updates, including the creation of clear visual roadmaps, key metrics, and strategic communication.
What We're Looking For (Mandatory Requirements)

To be successful in this high-profile role, you must possess:

  • Relevant qualifications in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a closely related field.
  • Extensive, demonstrable experience with Microsoft 365 architecture, tools, and solutions on an enterprise scale.
  • Proven deep expertise in security frameworks, with specific, hands-on experience in Microsoft Defender optimisation.
  • Strong, proven experience in high-level stakeholder engagement, consultation, and leading large-scale change management initiatives.
  • Exceptional analytical and reporting skills, including the ability to design and produce executive-level dashboards and technical roadmaps.
Desirable Attributes

Beyond the technical skills, we need a professional who is:

  • An innovative and proactive solution designer, ready to tackle complex challenges.
  • Highly effective in communication and stakeholder engagement, capable of influencing decision-makers.
  • Collaborative by nature, building productive relationships across diverse corporate and school teams.
  • Skilled at managing competing priorities and delivering outcomes within a complex public sector environment.
