This contract will initially run until the end of March but will be extended. The programme will run for at least the next 2-3 years. The contract will be Inside IR35 and you will need to be in the central London office 3 days per week.

The successful Azure Cloud Architect will join an instantly recognisable household name at an unprecedented period of modernisation. The Cloud strategy is currently in its infancy, and this role offers a unique opportunity for an experienced Azure Cloud Architect to join at the ground level and play a pivotal role in shaping a best-in-class, in-house Cloud Architecture and Engineering function.

Design, implement, and evolve cloud solutions with a primary focus on Microsoft Azure within a multi-cloud environment.

Engage with senior stakeholders across the business, providing clear technical direction and building trusted relationships.

Act as a key influencer in developing a cloud-first culture, ensuring scalability, resilience, and security across solutions.

Work closely with engineering teams to deliver high-quality, future-proof architectures.

Key Requirements

Proven expertise in Microsoft Azure cloud-native architecture and services.

Experience working within multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP desirable but not essential).

Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building skills, able to operate confidently at all levels of the organisation.

Background in shaping cloud roadmaps and architecture frameworks in complex enterprise environments.

Knowledge of cloud security, governance, and compliance best practices.

What's on Offer

The chance to join a high-profile, long-term transformation programme from the very start.

Work with a globally recognised brand on the journey to building a world-class in-house cloud capability.

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
