Principal Duties & Responsibilities

Overview

Lead hybrid and multi-cloud architecture workstreams within large advisory and transformation programs, owning the design and delivery of architecture outcomes across on-premises, colocation, and public cloud environments. Act as the primary day-to-day architecture advisor to client VP and Director-level technology stakeholders — running architecture design sessions, facilitating platform trade-off decisions, and maintaining the architecture decision log. Own the detailed design of hybrid cloud reference architectures including private cloud platform configurations (VMware Cloud Foundation, Nutanix), hyperscaler extension patterns (AWS Outposts, Azure Arc, Google Distributed Cloud), and hybrid connectivity designs.

Lead the design of hybrid security architecture for client engagements — developing Zero Trust designs that span on-premises and cloud, IAM and identity federation models, network segmentation across SD-WAN and dedicated interconnects, and encryption frameworks that apply consistently across the full hybrid estate.

Lead multi-cloud FinOps workstreams — building financial governance frameworks that span infrastructure lifecycle and cloud consumption, designing chargeback and showback models across hybrid environments, and identifying cost optimisation opportunities using CloudHealth, Apptio Cloudability, and hyperscaler billing platforms.

Own the IaC and platform engineering architecture across the hybrid estate — defining standards and patterns using Terraform, Ansible, and platform-specific tooling (vRealize Automation, Nutanix Calm), and designing the governance model that ensures consistent infrastructure delivery. Lead the design of unified observability architectures using Datadog, Dynatrace, Splunk, and VMware Aria Operations.

Contribute across adjacent areas — designing hybrid AI infrastructure covering on-premises GPU environments and hyperscaler AI services; providing cloud architecture inputs to Tech Modernization engagements including Kubernetes on hybrid and GitOps patterns; applying resilience architecture patterns to Technology Resiliency workstreams; and advising on ecosystem decisions covering on-premises vendor selection, build-buy-partner choices, and hyperscaler commercial models.

Support business development through proposal contributions, hybrid cloud architecture solutioning, and client presentations. Identify and shape follow-on engagement opportunities. Contribute to reusable assets, reference architectures, and points of view that strengthen the practice's hybrid cloud advisory capability.
