What they need
Our client is a well established enterprise organization with more than 20 years in business and over 5,000 employees. They have built a reputation for stability and steady growth, and their technology team plays a central role in keeping a large and complex operation running. Today they are making a major investment in their infrastructure by moving their VMware data center environment into Azure. This is a multi phase initiative and they are looking for a seasoned consultant to lead it.
3x per week onsite is a hard requirement, 40 hours a week, Monday through Friday.
The Opportunity:
This is the kind of engagement career consultants look for. It is a defined, high impact migration at enterprise scale with a clear runway beyond the cutover. You will help plan and execute the move from VMware into Azure and then stay on to support and optimize the Azure and AWS environments.
What You'll Do:
Plan and execute an enterprise VMware to Azure migration across multiple phases
Manage and stabilize the VMware environment throughout the transition
Administer Azure compute, storage, and related services
Provide ongoing operational support across Azure and AWS
Support Windows Server and Active Directory
Improve monitoring, backup, disaster recovery, and automation
Must Haves:
Deep VMware experience in enterprise virtualized environments
Proven on premises to Azure migration experience
Strong hands on Azure infrastructure experience
Experience supporting AWS infrastructure
Strong Windows Server and Active Directory skills
Sharp troubleshooting and operations instincts
Nice to Haves:
Azure Migrate or Site Recovery experience
Terraform or PowerShell automation
Entra ID, EC2, S3, and IAM
Backup and disaster recovery platforms
AZ 104, AZ 305, or VCP DCV certification
Why This Role Stands Out:
Long term consulting engagements with this kind of scope are hard to find. You get a project you can own from planning through cutover, then a steady operational role once the migration is complete. The client is stable, the work is meaningful, and your experience will be valued from day one.
