  • Implement Azure Arc to extend Azure governance, policy, and Defender coverage to on-prem infrastructure
  • Implement Azure Update Manager for unified patch management across Azure VMs and Arc enabled servers
  • Define and maintain patch cadence, compliance reporting, and maintenance windows across all entities

Backup & Resilience
  • Define and execute a unified backup strategy across Azure VMs, on-prem servers, and NAS
  • Configure recovery vaults, retention policies, and offsite replication
  • Define and validate RTOs and RPOs per entity and workload tier
  • Ensure disaster recovery and high availability architectures are documented and tested

Qualifications:
Required
  • 7+ years of experience in Azure cloud engineering and infrastructure
  • Proven experience consolidating Azure tenants, subscriptions, or large-scale environments
  • Deep expertise in Azure networking - VNet design, VPN/ExpressRoute, segmentation
  • Strong experience with Azure compute, storage, and platform services
  • Hands-on experience with Azure governance - Policy, RBAC, management groups
  • Experience managing on-premises Windows Server environments including Active Directory, DNS, and DHCP
  • Experience with Hyper-V in a multi-site or multi-entity environment
  • Strong experience with cloud cost optimization and financial governance (FinOps)
  • Experience with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) for identity and access management
  • Ability to lead complex, multi-team cloud and infrastructure transformation efforts

Preferred

Core Competencies:
  • Own and lead a large-scale Azure transformation initiative across a growing multi-site enterprise
  • Directly impact cost reduction, security posture, and operational efficiency organization-wide
