Are you a VMware NSX Architect ready to lead network and security design on a large-scale enterprise infrastructure transformation? Our client is undertaking a major multi-year modernisation programme, migrating thousands of servers onto a new cloud platform, and needs an experienced architect to design the software-defined networking and micro-segmentation foundations before the migration wave begins in earnest.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the target-state network architecture for an enterprise-scale environment from the ground up, working at the intersection of cloud platform strategy, security, and infrastructure modernisation.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and lead the implementation of VMware NSX architecture across a large-scale, multi-thousand-server environment.
• Define micro-segmentation, security zoning, and connectivity patterns to underpin a modern, resilient cloud platform.
• Partner with cloud platform and implementation teams to ensure network design aligns with broader migration and modernisation timelines.
• Provide technical leadership on software-defined networking best practice, ensuring designs are scalable, secure, and future-proofed.
• Collaborate with security, infrastructure, and delivery stakeholders to embed the architecture into the wider transformation programme.
• Produce architecture documentation, standards, and design artefacts to guide implementation partners.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as an NSX Architect or Senior Network Architect on enterprise-scale infrastructure or cloud transformation programmes.
• Deep hands-on expertise with VMware NSX, including micro-segmentation and software-defined networking design.
• Track record designing network architecture for large, complex, multi-site or multi-thousand-server environments.
• Strong understanding of cloud platform migration and modernisation programmes (public and private cloud).
• Excellent stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to work across security, infrastructure, and delivery teams.
• Experience in regulated or high-governance environments (advantageous).
