Job Title: Azure Cloud Infrastructure Manager
Location: Wymondham (Hybrid Working)
Salary: £50,000 - £60,000 per annum

Cooper Lomaz is working exclusively with a forward-thinking, rapidly scaling organisation based in Wymondham to recruit an Azure Cloud Infrastructure Manager. This is a hands-on, technically demanding role where you'll be responsible for leading the development, optimisation, and reliability of the company's Azure-based cloud infrastructure.

You won't just be managing systems-you'll be in the thick of architecting and evolving a secure, scalable, and modern Azure estate that supports critical business services.

The Role

This is a key role in the technology team, ideal for someone who thrives in a hands-on Azure environment but also brings the strategic oversight needed to guide infrastructure decisions. You'll lead a small team of engineers, while still diving into the technical detail-designing and optimising cloud environments, scripting, managing resources, and enforcing best practices.

This is not just a managerial role-this is for someone who wants to stay close to the technology.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the design, delivery, and ongoing improvement of a secure and high-performing Microsoft Azure infrastructure.
Take full ownership of the Azure estate-monitoring usage, driving performance, and ensuring scalability and resilience.
Develop and implement cloud infrastructure strategies aligned with technical and business objectives.
Stay hands-on with key services (VMs, App Services, AKS, Networking, Azure AD) and scripting/automation.
Champion and implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, ARM templates, or Bicep.
Ensure infrastructure security, compliance, cost-efficiency, and backup/disaster recovery strategies are embedded and maintained.
Collaborate with DevOps, Software Engineering, and Cyber Security teams to ensure smooth, aligned delivery of services.
Provide technical leadership to a small team-supporting their development while maintaining a strong technical presence yourself.
Keep documentation and reporting up to date for operational and strategic planning.

Required Skills & Experience

Strong, hands-on experience in Azure cloud infrastructure design, build, and management.
Proven background in a senior infrastructure role, ideally as a Platform Manager, Cloud Lead, or Senior Azure Engineer.
Deep understanding of core Azure services: VMs, Networking, App Services, Azure AD, AKS, Storage.
Practical experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, ARM, Bicep).
Strong scripting/automation skills (PowerShell, Bash, or Python).
Experience with monitoring, alerting, and observability tools such as Azure Monitor and Application Insights.
Familiarity with cloud security and governance frameworks.
Excellent communication skills, with experience leading small teams or projects.Do you want to know more? APPLY TODAY
