Leadership focus: You will lead a team responsible for operating, optimising, and continuously improving Azure services that support critical Federal Government outcomes. The role involves working closely with agency stakeholders, cyber security teams, architects, vendors, service integrators, and delivery teams to maintain availability, manage risk, support audit and assurance activities, improve cost transparency, and embed CloudOps best practices across secure Commonwealth cloud environments.

Automate operational tasks using PowerShell, Azure CLI, and Bicep to improve efficiency and reduce risk.

Enhance observability and alerting for mission-critical services to meet agreed SLAs, operational reporting obligations, and Commonwealth compliance requirements.
•
Drive root cause analysis and implement service improvements for reliability and security.
•
Support disaster recovery, business continuity, and operational resilience planning in line with Federal Government, agency, and critical service requirements.

Collaborate with cyber security, governance, and assurance teams to maintain Zero Trust principles, implement cloud-native security controls, and support audit, IRAP-related evidence gathering, remediation, and continuous compliance activities.
•
Contribute to ongoing improvements, including CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps practices.
•
Represent DXC in client-facing discussions with support from the broader account team, explaining technical issues, risks, and options clearly for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Mandatory certification and clearance: Must hold AGSVA Baseline clearance and Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104), with practical experience managing enterprise Azure environments.
•
Certification pathway: Progressing towards or holding Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305).
