Job Description
Are you interested in solving some of the largest and most complex client business problems with Azure? We are looking for people who are obsessed with creating value for our clients and doing exceptional work. As a Senior Security Architect at Avanade, you will engage in solutioning, securing and delivering our most strategic clients’ projects.
You will work with Client Account Teams and Sales/Offering Leads to provide solutions with differentiated value and secure wins in our most strategic accounts. You will lead complex or high-risk Security projects in Azure migrating, securing, modernizing, and optimizing for our clients.
Our Sr. Security Architects build deep relationships with Accenture and Microsoft and evolve Avanade’s point of view on Azure Security Architecture to establish thought leadership and prominence in the marketplace.
Lastly, you will develop strong relationships with key “architecture” leaders and influencers within our client’s organizations. You’ll work with these client influencers to help gain consensus and momentum to the client’s vision and garner support for your solutions and approaches.
What we're interested in you bringing to Avanade:
· 5-7 years of knowledge architecting, selling, and implementing solutions

· Experience developing and building solutions as an Engineer or Architect that drives business value
· Be the technical advisor for the client for their digital transformations.
· A good understanding of the business, privacy, security, and compliance challenges surrounding the secure development lifecycle and a passion for solving these challenges for clients.

· Most importantly, not shying away from rolling up their sleeves and getting into the details and low-level solution design aspects, working closely with the architects from G42 (local Cloud provider) who are building the data platform.
We would love your story so far to have similar elements:
· Ability to shape technical engagements including architectural design sessions and proof of concepts (PoC) through to full multi-year cloud transformation programs, especially when migrating from on-premises to cloud using Azure, GCP or AWS
