- Partner with cloud platform and implementation teams to ensure network design aligns with broader migration and modernisation timelines.
- Provide technical leadership on software-defined networking best practice, ensuring designs are scalable, secure, and future-proofed.
- Collaborate with security, infrastructure, and delivery stakeholders to embed the architecture into the wider transformation programme.
- Produce architecture documentation, standards, and design artefacts to guide implementation partners.
- Proven experience as an NSX Architect or Senior Network Architect on enterprise-scale infrastructure or cloud transformation programmes.
- Deep hands-on expertise with VMware NSX, including micro-segmentation and software-defined networking design.
