Job Benefits: Benfits & Bonus

Role Title: Lead Modern Workplace Architect
Location: UK-based | 90% Remote with some travel across England
Salary: Up to £120,000 + Bonus & Benefits

Overview

A leading international consumer goods group — private equity-backed, multi-brand, and acquisitive — is undertaking a major transformation of its digital workplace landscape. With operations spanning the UK, Ireland, Europe, and North America, the business is consolidating and standardising its IT environment to enable growth, integration, and operational efficiency.

The Role

As Lead Modern Workplace Architect, you’ll be responsible for the strategy, architecture, and execution of the modern workplace platform — driving standardisation, security, and enablement across identity, collaboration, and endpoint management.

You will bring strong experience leading teams and delivering multiple migrations across Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and client endpoints, with deep hands-on expertise in Intune and Autopilot. You’ll act as both architect and delivery leader — capable of strategic planning, technical design, and operational rollout.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Delivery

Architect and implement a modern workplace environment across all divisions using Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, and Autopilot.
Lead multiple complex migrations — M365 tenant-to-tenant, Entra ID consolidation, and Windows endpoint standardisation.
Define and maintain global standards for endpoint builds, software packaging, and deployment automation.
Deliver a global Autopilot-based client provisioning process to streamline onboarding and rebuilds.
Consolidate miscellaneous workplace tools into a streamlined, fit-for-purpose portfolio.

Leadership & Collaboration

Build and lead a modern workplace team capable of global delivery and support.
Work closely with other technology leaders to align roadmap, architecture, and service standards.
Mentor and upskill regional IT teams to maintain workplace consistency and maturity.
Drive adoption and effective use of collaboration tools across the business.

Security & Compliance

Partner with security teams to ensure all endpoint and identity configurations meet policy and compliance standards.
Take ownership of securing client devices, user identities, and collaboration environments.
Support incident response and vulnerability management in the digital workplace domain.

User Enablement

Define a workplace enablement strategy, supported by self-service resources, training, and communications.
Improve the digital employee experience through simplified tools, intuitive access, and proactive support design.

12-Month Success Measures

Fully staffed workplace team operating efficiently
Harmonised UK & Ireland M365 tenant, Entra ID, and endpoint platforms
Production-ready Autopilot + Intune deployment framework in use
Stable global client build deployed to UK & IE users
SharePoint Online replacing legacy file shares
End-user training and comms strategy launched and embedded
Migration roadmap agreed for Europe and North America (Year 2+)

What You Bring

Proven leadership of multiple global workplace transformations and migrations
Deep hands-on experience with Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, and Autopilot
A pragmatic approach to change delivery in fast-paced, PE-owned, or M&A-heavy environments
Ability to work from strategic design through to hands-on implementation and troubleshooting
Excellent stakeholder management skills at both senior and operational levels

Requirements

5+ years in a senior IT workplace, EUC, or modern desktop architecture role
Strong track record of Intune + Autopilot deployment and management
Extensive experience with:
- Microsoft 365 tenant consolidation
- Entra ID design and rollout
- Endpoint management and client image design
Proven success in leading global teams and collaborating across functions
Bonus: Experience in private equity, M&A integrations, or carve-outs

Preferred Certifications (or equivalent experience):

Microsoft Certified: Endpoint Administrator (MD-102)
Microsoft 365 Certified: Enterprise Administrator Expert
Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator or Architect
ITIL® 4 Foundation or Intermediate
